Guardiola Rotates Man City Squad for Club World Cup

Manchester City's second FIFA Club World Cup group game against Al Ain will take place at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium, following their 2-0 win over Wydad AC. Manager Pep Guardiola is planning a radical lineup overhaul, making 10 or 11 changes, with new signings Claudio Echeverri and Rayan Ait-Nouri expected to feature. Key players Rodri and John Stones remain sidelined as they recover from long-term injuries, while Rico Lewis is suspended after a red card in the previous match. Jack Grealish and Kyle Walker will also miss the match amid transfer speculation. Guardiola has highlighted the difficulty of managing a large squad and suggested some players may depart to maintain harmony. Manchester City are strong favorites against Al Ain, who lost 5-0 to Juventus in their opening fixture.
