Manchester City has released a squad update from Maresca ahead of its Carabao Cup clash with Brighton & Hove Albion, the club said in an official update published on ManchesterCity.com.
The announcement gives supporters the latest team-news position before the knockout fixture. However, the update does not confirm the starting lineups, a full injury list, or the final matchday squad. Those details are expected to be established closer to kick-off through the clubs’ official channels and the competition’s match information.
The fixture matters because Carabao Cup matches are decided on the night, leaving less room for recovery after an early setback. Selection decisions will therefore be closely watched, particularly as Manchester City manages its squad across domestic and European commitments.
Maresca’s update is the confirmed information available from Manchester City before the meeting. It should not be read as the final team sheet. Manchester City’s official website remains the primary source for the club’s squad news, while the Carabao Cup’s official competition records will provide match details and Brighton & Hove Albion’s official channels may publish its own team information.
The next verified step is the publication of the official lineups before the match. Until then, claims about Manchester City or Brighton’s starters, player availability, or the likely result should be treated as speculation rather than confirmed team news.
The Manchester City announcement is the central source for Maresca’s squad update. The Carabao Cup’s official competition information is the relevant source for fixture and match records, while Brighton & Hove Albion’s official club channels are the appropriate source for Brighton-specific team news.
