Sergio Gomez has vowed that he and his Manchester City teammates will be ready to take on Liverpool just four days after the World Cup Final.
City will return to competitive action on Thursday when they meet Liverpool in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. The clash at the Etihad Stadium is a mouth-watering one, although it's unclear which of City's stars will feature.
Only two of the 16 City players that took part in the World Cup were involved in the Blues' 2-0 friendly defeat of Girona on Saturday. Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan both started at the Academy Stadium, but the other 14 were all absent.
