When will Abdukodir Khusanov debut for Manchester City?

Abdukodir Khusanov has officially joined Manchester City, marking one of the most discussed transfers in football today.

The Premier League champions paid approximately €50 million to French club RC Lens for the 20-year-old Uzbek defender. Khusanov has signed a contract until mid-2029, with an option to extend for an additional year. The player will wear the number 45 jersey at his new club.

The burning question on everyone's mind is: when will Abdukodir Khusanov make his debut for Manchester City?

Upcoming Matches
Manchester City’s next game is scheduled for January 22 against PSG in the UEFA Champions League group stage. However, reports indicate that Khusanov and fellow new signing Vitor Reis have not been registered for the competition. As a result, they will not feature in this match.

On January 29, Manchester City will play their final group-stage game against Stuttgart in Germany. Guardiola's side currently sits in 22nd place in the standings with 8 points from six games. This suggests they may need to compete in a playoff round to secure a spot in the Round of 16.

Potential Premier League Debut
Khusanov is expected to make his debut for Manchester City in the Premier League. The team's next league match is scheduled for January 25 against Chelsea at home.

Interestingly, Chelsea had also expressed strong interest in signing the Uzbek defender. However, Manchester City acted decisively and completed the transfer swiftly.

A Historic Moment
Khusanov's debut for Manchester City will be historic, as he will become the first Uzbek player to feature in the English Premier League.

At just 19, Khusanov made history as the only Uzbek player to compete in Ligue 1. Now, he is ready to write a new chapter in his career in one of the world’s most competitive leagues. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
