Manchester City welcomed back Omar Marmoush, Rayan Cherki and Mateo Kovacic during Saturday’s 2-0 win over Everton, providing a major boost to Pep Guardiola’s squad ahead of a busy winter fixture run.
The aforementioned trio all started on the bench with Cherki and Kovacic introduced in the second half against the Toffees, marking a first appearance of the campaign for the latter following the Croatian’s niggling Achilles injury and a first outing since August for the summer signing from Lyon.
