The crucial clash between Manchester City and Brentford in the English League Cup semi-final is about to begin. Before the match, the starting lineups of both teams were announced, and among them, our compatriot Abdukodir Khusanov attracted the most attention.
Previously, some influential publications predicted that the Uzbek defender would enter the field from the first minutes of today's match. These predictions have been confirmed: Khusanov has secured a place in the Citizens' starting lineup and will play alongside Nathan Ake in the central defense.
Josep Guardiola chose a squad that combined young and experienced players in an important match like the semi-finals. James Trafford will guard the goal. Rico Lewis, Abdukodir Khusanov, Nathan Ake, and Nico O'Reilly are in the defense. In the center of the field, Niko, Tijani Reynders, and Oscar Bobb will officiate. Ryan Sherki, Savino, and Divayn Mukasa have been trusted in the attack.
There are also big names on the bench: stars like Donnarumma, Dias, Guardiol, Nunez, Bernardo Silva, Haaland, and Foden are ready to change the fate of the game if needed.
For Abdukodir Khusanov, this meeting is another important test. Playing in the main squad in the cup semi-finals is a testament to the coaches' confidence and the strengthening of his position within the team. The fans, however, expect reliable play and determination from the Uzbek defender.
In short, Manchester City is taking the semi-finals as seriously as possible today. Husanov is on the verge of participating in a historic match not only for his team but also for Uzbek football.
