Maresca to Address Manchester City Squad Over Club Crisis on Thursday

Manchester City's players are set to report back on Thursday for the first time since an independent commission found the club guilty on the vast majority of financial breach charges. Most of the squad have spent the last fortnight away representing their respective national teams.

Manager Enzo Maresca is expected to assemble his squad on Thursday to address the ongoing situation. The Italian returned to the Etihad today, facing the tough task of reassuring players amid immense uncertainty while the club awaits the outcome of its appeal and any subsequent sanctions. Following the discussions, Maresca will switch focus to preparing for Sunday's high-profile trip to Anfield to face Liverpool.
