City to keep tabs on young attacker after cup setback

|June 24, 2025
FOOTBALL: Manchester City were checking on the fitness of Claudio Echeverri after the teenager's impressive first start for the club was cut short by injury.
-
The 19-year-old revelled in an attacking role and scored from a free-kick as City thrashed Al Ain of Abu Dhabi 6-0 in Atlanta to secure their place in the last 16 of the Club World Cup.
Yet the Argentinian, who only made his debut in the FA Cup final last month after arriving from River Plate in January, was forced off at half-time with a twisted ankle.
It was a disappointing end to a promising performance and one that suggested the youngster could have a role to play in Guardiola's reshaped squad in the coming season.
Guardiola said Echeverri was "a little bit sore" and had to be replaced at the interval.
