Guarding Premier League champions Manchester City beat Mexican side Club America 2-1 in their opening pre-season match in Houston, Texas, yet this mid-year's star marking Erling Haaland didn't see the field.
Haaland was supposed to make his eagerly awaited debut at NRG Stadium, however, he was held on the seat because of "a minor physical issue protest," as indicated by the club's true site.
Cameras caught Haaland wearing a hoodie and situated close to focus back Ruben Dias, who was not a piece of the matchday crew.
While the consideration was on the new players, it was old solid Kevin De Bruyne who represented both Man City objectives.
The group chief pushed up from his going after midfield position to make his own shot on the principal objective, and afterward, he ran onto a ball from Riyad Mahrez and 'robbed the 'guardian not long before halftime.
Three Man City players who figured out how to make their presentations were previous River Plate star Julian Alvarez, goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, and Kalvin Phillips, who began at focus back prior to moving into his favored focal midfield spot.
Alvarez was the middle forward at the initial whistle however got no great looks as De Bruyne guaranteed the titles with his brand-name runs from midfield.
Haaland's presentation could come against his previous Bundesliga adversary Bayern Munich on Saturday, July 23 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

"Next game he'll be prepared," peruses a statement on the club's true site. "He had niggles, we would rather not face challenges. Perhaps against Bayern, we will see ... The season is so lengthy; we will have time, simply relax."
Ortega, Phillips strong in Man City bows
Like Alvarez, the other debutants were strong however unremarkable, filling explicit jobs in the group and going about their business.
Also, that is everything they'll be approached to do this season.
Ortega was the certain given, remain-at-home 'manager who answered the modest bunch of tests from Club America all through the hour and a half.
He had the quality of a goalkeeper with character, and he wasn't bothered by the event. At 29, and with long stretches of Bundesliga experience added to his repertoire, it's anything but a shock.
He likewise got a touch on the solitary America objective.
We likewise got an early gander at the adaptability that Kalvin Phillips could be asked to feature during 2022/23.
The 26-year-old was reliable in the two positions he's played.
A crisis place back during his Leeds days, he began the last part there and afterward moved into midfield as the subs were presented in the last part.
He showed he's prepared to make a commitment.
Normal, worn out De Bruyne
With all the buzz around the new children joining the club, Kevin De Bruyne showed why he wears the commander's armband for City.
He's basically as crafty as midfielders come, detecting the second to push up and typically making the most of it.
Those impulses made De Bruyne the most noteworthy scoring midfielder in the Premier League in 2021/22 and his 15 objectives didn't accompany a solitary punishment transformation.
Club America turned into his most recent casualty on Wednesday.
