Allan joins Manchester City squad for Champions League opener against FC Porto

Summary

Manchester City travels to the Estádio do Dragão tonight for its 2026-27 UEFA Champions League opening fixture against FC Porto. Winger Allan has been included in the travelling squad following his summer arrival from Palmeiras. The Brazilian previously missed out on the matchday bench against Coventry City last Saturday due to fitness concerns. Although he is deemed fit to participate, an appearance off the bench is considered more likely than a start. Allan trained with his teammates yesterday as he nears his club debut under manager Enzo Maresca.
