  "summary": "Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has stated that there is no tension or anxiety within the dressing room following the club's guilty verdict for breaching the Premier League's financial rules. In a recent interview, Maresca highlighted the players' excitement to return to action after the international break and their focus on the upcoming games, given the team's current top position in the league. The club has appealed the verdict, and if it is upheld, they could face penalties such as points deduction or even relegation from the top flight.",
