It has been a whirlwind week for Max Alleyne. After Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias went down injured, Manchester City recalled the young centre-back from his loan spell at Watford.
Manchester City drew 1-all with Brighton at the Etihad Stadium last night. When the starting lineups were announced Pep Guardiola had made five changes to the starting lineup that drew with Chelsea.
As of right now, Manchester City has only two fit senior centre-backs. Abdukodir Khusanov and Nathan Ake look to be the centre-back pairing that Pep Guardiola will use in Manchester City’s upcoming Premier League fixture against Brighton on Wednesday night.
Manchester City have three promising young centre-backs out on loan this season. Vitor Reis, Max Alleyne and Juma Bah are getting first-team experience at Girona, Watford and OGC Nice respectively.
For players like Sverre Nypan and Max Alleyne, going out on loan has allowed them the opportunity to impress and develop as players. Nypan and Alleyne have impressed at Middlesbrough and Watford, respectively.
