After kickstarting their pre-season tour against Yokohama F Marinos at the Japan National Stadium in Tokyo, they will face German champions Bayern Munich next on Wednesday, July 26 at the same venue.

Their next pre-season match will see the Sky Blues travel to South Korea to face Atletico Madrid at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Sunday, July 30.

Manchester City are scheduled to return from Asia after their match against Atletico and face Arsenal in the Community Shield clash - England’s top-flight’s curtain-raiser for the season - at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, August 6.

Following their incredible treble-winning campaign last season, City have roped in midfielder Mateo Kovacic and are linked to one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe in Josko Gvardiol.

In terms of outgoings, midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has joined Barcelona, while the likes of Aymeric Laporte and Bernardo Silva have been linked with moves away from the club.
