Manchester City meet Spanish side Atletico Madrid in Seoul on Sunday to complete their pre-season tour of Asia. Defender Ruben Dias captains a strong City team selected by manager Enzo Maresca for the 12:00 BST kick-off in South Korea.
Maresca has named a line-up that is as strong as possible right now as several key stars return to action. Matheus Nunes, Vitor Reis, Savinho and Omar Marmoush all come into the starting team for Manchester City.
Midfielder and full-back Nunes returned to the squad after relaxing on a sun lounger with his family. Nunes spoke to Daily Mail Sport in an interview this week where he opened up on Pep Guardiola exiting Manchester City. Reporter Jack Gaughan noted that 18 hours after a last-minute win over Leeds last November, John Stones ambled out at City's training complex with Nunes firmly in his sights.
