Bravo to wait for his Man City debut

MANCHESTER: Claudio Bravo must wait to make his Manchester City debut as he prepares to watch his new club’s home Premier League game with West Ham United on Sunday from the stands at the Etihad Stadium.

The Chilean goalkeeper has completed the formalitie­s over his reported £17 million ($22 million, 19 million euros) move to the Premier League, but his lack of training with his new team means manager Pep Guardiola has not considered him for a starting place.

That will almost certainly mean more frustratio­n for unwanted England keeper Joe Hart, who has been told he can leave the club, with Willy Caballero poised to keep his starting place, as he has done in the opening two league games under Guardiola. “He’s fit but he’s not going to play this weekend,” he said. “He has experience, anticipate­s situations not in the box, in front of the box, good in the build-up plays, quick under the posts, he is a good player for us.”
