Team News: Pep Guardiola names Oleksandr Zinchenko in first Manchester City lineup

Guardiola names Zinchenko in first City lineup

Pep Guardiola has handed a debut to Oleksandr Zinchenko in Manchester City's friendly with Bayern Munich.

Zinchenko only linked up with the Premier League side earlier this month but he has been named in a strong-looking midfield alongside Fernando and Fernandinho.

Aleksandr Kolarov and Kelechi Iheanacho also feature, as does second-choice stopper Willy Caballero, but the rest of the team is made up of academy players.

Carlo Ancelotti has included the likes of David Alaba, Xabi Alonso, Philipp Lahm and Franck Ribery in his team, while Mario Gotze is named on the bench despite reports suggesting that he is closing in on a move to Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern Munich: Ulreich; Rafinha, Martinez, Alaba, Bernat, Alonso, Lahm, Feldhahn, Benko, Green, Ribery

Manchester City: Caballero, Maffeo, Adarabioyo, Kolarov, Angelino, Fernando, Fernandinho, Zinchenko, Barker, Iheanacho, Navas
