EXCLUSIVE:‼️Man City teenager set to receive first senior call up v Tottenham Tonight-Pep Guardiola has said he might have to select youth-team players on Wednesday amid a spate of injuries as it’s said that the teenage plays like Sergio Ramos and has an excellent defensively line,you won’t like to skip this to really knows who this is 😳😳

Manchester City teenager Jahmai Simpson-Pusey has been named in the first-team squad for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

 

The young defender, who captained City to an FA Youth Cup victory last season, was part of City’s pre-season tour in the USA but has yet to make his competitive senior debut. With six senior players sidelined due to injuries, Pep Guardiola is turning to youth options, and *Manchester World* understands Simpson-Pusey is in the matchday squad for the game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

 

Guardiola hinted last week that youth players might be called upon for the Carabao Cup fixture but noted his caution on Tuesday about relying too heavily on inexperienced players against top-tier opposition. “I don’t want to put too much pressure on the young players in this stage against this opponent,” Guardiola said. “There are some [youth players], but we’re playing against Spurs. They’re coming off a defeat, and I know how they’ll be mentally when facing Man City.”

 

Guardiola has previously used the Carabao Cup as a platform for young talent, giving 16-year-old Kaden Braithwaite his debut in the last round against Watford. Simpson-Pusey, now 18, could follow, especially as he was omitted from City’s Under-21 squad for their recent match against Grimsby Town.

 

Simpson-Pusey, who featured in pre-season matches against Celtic and AC Milan, has also represented England at the Under-18 level. He is highly regarded within City’s ranks and has trained with the senior team multiple times over the past year.

 

For the upcoming tie, Guardiola’s defensive options include Rico Lewis, Ruben Dias, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake, and Josko

Gvardiol.
