City Set Pre-Season Return Date With World Cup Stars Given Extra Leave

Staggered Start

Manchester City players are reportedly due back for pre-season on 20 July, though those who featured at the 2026 World Cup are expected to get additional time off.

According to BBC Sport, the club's non-World Cup contingent will report first as Enzo Maresca begins his first full pre-season in charge.

The staggered return means a split squad for the early stages of preparations.
