Abdukodir Khusanov’s upcoming debut for “Manchester City”

The debut of Uzbek footballer Abdukodir Khusanov for "Manchester City" has been confirmed by a club source. Fans are eager to see Khusanov in action following his high-profile transfer to the English Premier League champions.

Unfortunately, due to UEFA regulations, Khusanov will not feature in "Manchester City"’s squad for the group stage of this season’s Champions League. This means he will miss the upcoming clash against PSG on January 22.

However, Khusanov’s first appearance could come in a crucial Premier League match against "Chelsea" on January 26 at the "Etihad" Stadium. With City’s defensive options limited due to injuries to Nathan Aké and John Stones, Khusanov’s inclusion in the starting lineup seems likely. The "Chelsea" game, pivotal in the title race, could mark the young defender’s first steps onto the Premier League stage.

Khusanov officially became a "Manchester City" player on January 20. His transfer from French club "Lens" cost City €50 million, including bonuses, and he signed a 4.5+1 year contract. The move not only elevates Khusanov’s career but also underscores Uzbekistan’s growing impact on international football.
