Several players fail to train at Manchester City's live training session
Manchester City hosted a live training session on earlier today. Pep Guardiola's squad trained at the Joie Stadium in front of a sell-out crowd. There was a sharpness to Manchester City's training session and Pep Guardiola and his players looked hungry for the 25/26 season to begin. Several players failed to train with Pep Guardiola's squad. Although that isn't a major cause for concern heading into a new season. Nico O'Reilly, Vitor Reis, Mateo Kovacic and Kalvin Phillips missed Manchester City's training session today. Of great interest as Pep Guardiola's squad trained today was which players took part in the session. Rodri trained as he continues to work his way back to full fitness. The majority of Pep Guardiola's squad was seen training, which is good news for Manchester City as they continue their preparations for their opening Premier League fixture of the season against Wolverhampton Wanderers on August 16. Four players didn't train today with the City squad. Kalvin Phillips and Mateo Kovacic are currently injured so their absence from Manchester City's training session wasn't a major surprise. Vitor Reis didn't train today. Fabrizio Romano reports that the Brazilian centre-back is close to joining Girona on loan for next season. That was the reason why Vitor Reis didn't train. Nico O'Reilly also didn't take part in Manchester City's open training session. Simon Bajkowski has reported for Manchester Evening News that O'Reilly wasn't deemed fit enough to train with his teammates. There was a positive vibe amongst the Manchester City squad at the Joie Stadium. Watching Pep Guardiola's squad train there was a good vibe amongst the Manchester City squad. There was also a crispness to City's work which bodes well for the 25/26 season. Although it is hard to gauge how far along in their preparations the Manchester City squad are currently. But there was a good vibe to City training in front of a packed Joie Stadium. It was no surprise to see Kalvin Phillips and Mateo Kovacic fail to train today. Both players are continuing their rehabilitation from injury. Vitor Reis looks poised to complete a loan move to Girona in the coming days so his absence is understandable. It is hoped that Nico O'Reilly's fitness issue isn't serious ahead of Manchester City's upcoming friendly against Palermo this weekend.

Forest confirm new front-of-shirt sponsor
Nottingham Forest have announced Bally's Corporation, an American gambling, betting and interactive entertainment company, as the new front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2025-26 season. It comes despite Premier League clubs collectively agreeing in 2023 to withdraw gambling sponsorship from the front of their matchday shirts by the end of the 2025-26 season. Clubs have been allowed to secure new shirt-front deals before the deadline and will still be able to continue featuring gambling brands in areas such as shirt sleeves and LED advertising afterwards. Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis said: "We are on a special journey - we are determined to keep achieving incredible things and strengthening our global partnerships is an important part of this. "As our club continues to thrive both on and off the pitch, we're looking forward to working with Bally's on a number of exciting initiatives, helping us to engage with our growing fanbase within Nottinghamshire and around the world." Home shirts with the new sponsor will be worn for the first time in Tuesday's friendly against Serie A side Fiorentina at the City Ground. In the 2024-25 campaign, 11 top-flight teams had a gambling sponsor on the front of their shirts, an increase of three from the previous campaign. The ban from next season follows a consultation between the league, its clubs and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) as part of the government's ongoing review of current gambling legislation.
