PEP GUARDIOLA’S MAN CITY DENY EARLY AFCON CALL-UP REQUEST
Man City will not release Egypt forward Omar Marmoush for a pre-AFCON training camp. The club wants the recently-injured attacker available for key December fixtures before he joins his national team for the tournament in January.

Before the Africa Cup of Nations, Manchester City would not let Egypt's Omar Marmoush go to a training camp.
After missing more than a month and seven games due to a knee injury sustained during the September international break, Marmoush is back.
During City's midweek Carabao Cup triumph over Swansea City, the 26-year-old scored his first goal of the season while being gradually brought back into action.
If Egypt advances to the AFCON finals, Marmoush might miss up to ten games, depending on City's performance in that competition.
The Champions League final is set for January 18, and two days later, City will travel to Bodo/Glimt, a trip Marmoush is unlikely to make.
Egypt and Nigeria are scheduled to play a friendly on December 14, but City will need their January signing available because they are playing Crystal Palace in the Premier League on the same day.
Before AFCON, Omar Marmoush will not be released for an Egypt training camp.
Following that match at Selhurst Park, Marmoush is anticipated to be released to his national team. If head coach Hossam Hassan decides to use Mohamed Salah, Liverpool will have to make a similar choice.
Before beginning a training camp two weeks before AFCON, Egypt is participating in a friendly tournament in the United Arab Emirates.
On December 22, they play their first match against Zimbabwe, who are in the same group as South Africa and Angola.
BAYERN SPORTING CHIEF MAX EBERL BRUSHES OFF ONGOING CONCERNS OVER SQUAD SIZE
Bayern Munich's Max Eberl defends his squad strategy, dismissing burnout fears. He emphasises a smaller, injury-resilient roster and creating a pathway for youth talent as key to the club's philosophy.

Max Eberl, the sports board member for Bayern Munich, has had his work somewhat called into question following a somewhat rocky transfer window last summer. There have been rumours that his position has been in jeopardy because of the challenging task of putting together a competitive squad while also lowering the team's overall wage bills. The size of the roster has drawn criticism from both fans and critics due to the high expectations of a top-tier team like Bayern, particularly in the Champions League, and concerns about a potential burnout in the final weeks of the season.
Max Eberl, however, rejected this idea.
"I do not understand this argument. When long-term injured players Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala, and Hiroki Itō return, our group will be slightly smaller at 25, but it will still be highly capable, Eberl told 11FREUNDE. We began the season with 22 players.
Eberl also talked about how the squad preparation process entailed looking at the players' injury histories, since the team's efforts had frequently been hindered by injuries in previous seasons: We also carefully considered our new players' injury histories during scouting. If some members of a large squad are continuously in rehab, what good is it?
Eberl concluded by underscoring Bayern's intention to allow young players to establish themselves in the starting lineup. Additionally, we wanted to create room for younger players. "Our club's philosophy is to succeed while incorporating young players," he said in closing.
BARCELONA COULD DEPLOY STAR IN SURPRISING NEW ROLE
With Pedri injured and Gavi out long-term, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick may deploy defender Eric García in a defensive midfield role. The Spaniard has played in midfield before, offering a creative solution.

After Blaugrana teammate Pedri's injury, Barcelona star Eric García might be moved back into the middle of the park.
Naturally, Spanish international Pedri just received a sentence that will keep him out of action for a while.
Earlier this week, following a series of standard medical examinations, a severe hamstring injury was found.
As a result, Pedri can be on the treatment table for up to two months.
After Gavi's most recent long-term setback, Hansi Flick may already be lacking choices in the midfield and will need to find innovative ways to bolster his engine room in the coming months.
A change of role for Eric García is one such proposal that has been suggested again in recent days.
Eric, a defender, has previously made several appearances on the field in a defensive midfield position.
It is hardly impossible that the former Manchester City player may soon be put to the test further forward after having such a strong start to the season, starting at both right-back and centre-back.
