How Rayan Ait-Nouri can solve Manchester City's left back problem
Manchester City's routine 6-0 win over Emirati side Al Ain will not live long in Pep Guardiola's memory but it could end up being a seminal moment in his reign. For the first time in 1,407 days Guardiola started a match with a senior recognised left back, Rayan Ait-Nouri, in his team. The most recent senior specialist left back to have played for City was Benjamin Mendy, whose final appearance came on the opening day of the 2021-22 season in a 1-0 defeat by Tottenham Hotspur. Soon after, the France defender was suspended after being charged with four counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. He was later found not guilty in January 2023. Mendy left the club in June that year after his contract expired.

FIFA opens disciplinary proceedings against Pachuca's Cabral after Ruediger incident
MIAMI, June 24 (Reuters) - FIFA said on Tuesday it has opened disciplinary proceedings against Pachuca player Gustavo Cabral following an incident involving Real Madrid's Antonio Ruediger during their Club World Cup match on Sunday, which prompted the activation of the anti-discrimination protocol. 'Following an assessment of the match reports, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee has opened proceedings against CF Pachuca player Gustavo Cabral in relation to the incident involving him and Real Madrid's Antonio Ruediger during the FIFA Club World Cup game played in Charlotte on June 22,' FIFA told Reuters. Match referee Ramon Abatti activated the anti-discrimination protocol by crossing his forearms in front of his chest five minutes into stoppage time after a brief scuffle erupted following an apparent foul on Germany international Ruediger. Asked during a post-match press conference if Ruediger had been a victim of racism, Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said: "That's what Ruediger said, and we believe him." FIFA did not specify the nature of the disciplinary action.
