Eagle-eyed fans spot ‘trialist’ registered to another club on Man City’s squad list for USA pre-season tour
EAGLE-EYE fans have spotted a trialist player at Manchester City despite being registered to another club.
The player was named on the Premier League champions squad list for their pre-season tour of the USA.
The travelling squad is made up of 27 players including the likes of Scott Carson, Kalvin Phillips, Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish.
However, one member of the group is actually registered to French outfit and City-owned Troyes.
Amar Fatah, 20, spent last season on loan at Belgian outfit Lommel SK, who are also part of the City group.
Man City fans are now curious as to whether or not they will see the Swed play for Pep Guardiola‘s team during the trip across the Atlantic.
One posted: “We need to see Amar Fatah play some minutes.”
A second commented: “Is he gonna play?”
A third wrote: “How is that possible?”
A fourth said: “Man like Amar Fatah.”

Another added: “Fateh will be great I’m sure.”
The Athletic have offered an explanation as to Fateh’s inclusion in Guardiola’s squad.
The 20-year-old is reportedly with the club after receiving treatment for an injury he suffered last season.
It is claimed that he will go on the tour with the Citizens to aid his ongoing recovery.
During the tour, Man City will play high-profile friendlies against Celtic, AC Milan, Barcelona and Chelsea.
