Manchester City announced its squad for the match against Crystal Palace, with Grealish and Nunes not traveling with the team to Selhurst Park. According to the Manchester Evening News, Grealish's absence in this fixture is linked to his future. The 29-year-old English winger continues to train with Manchester City's first team, but with the summer transfer window closing soon, he could leave on loan or in a permanent transfer before the window shuts on Tuesday. Aston Villa and Everton are both interested in him.

Previously, Grealish had featured for Manchester City in the first two competitive matches of the new season. He came on as a substitute against Arsenal in the Community Shield and also came off the bench in the closing stages against Bournemouth in last week's Premier League fixture.

Nunes, meanwhile, missed this match due to injury. The Portuguese international suffered an injury during the warm-up before the Community Shield, and although he came on as a substitute against Bournemouth last week, he was unable to participate in this round of fixtures.

Due to Nunes's absence, Khusanov was included in the starting lineup, with Rico Lewis left on the bench. Manchester City had previously decided against signing another right-back this summer, and Khusanov's presence was a key factor in the club's decision.

Additionally, Manchester City is still considering signing a striker and is currently interested in Everton's Ndiaye, with Gakpo also being a potential target.
