Summary

Elliot Anderson, 23, is experiencing a fitness concern in the United States as he prepares for a medical with Manchester City. This follows the club's record transfer agreement worth £116 million with Nottingham Forest. Despite being a key player for England in the FIFA World Cup, there are doubts about his availability for the upcoming match against Panama due to muscle soreness, although manager Thomas Tuchel indicated he might still participate.
