Enzo Maresca to hold talks with Man City stars on THURSDAY with jet-setting stars set to return after guilty verdict - as boss is spotted for the first time since Premier League decision

JACK GAUGHAN: Manchester City's stars are set to meet up as a group on Thursday for the first time since last week's bombshell verdict on the club's finances.

Manchester City’s stars are set to meet up as a group on Thursday for the first time since last week’s bombshell verdict on the club’s finances.

The majority of Enzo Maresca’s squad have spent the past fortnight away on an international duty rocked by an independent commission’s findings that City had artificially inflated commercial revenues by £830million.

City’s first assignment after the guilty verdict – which they strenuously contest and have appealed – is a hotly-anticipated trip to rivals Liverpool on Sunday, with all eyes on how they will react amid widespread calls for the harshest punishment.

They will report back to the City Football Academy on Thursday for a group session, with Maresca expected to address the players as a collective after a fraught week.

The likes of Phil Foden and Antoine Semenyo were not away with their countries and have been able to use the club’s facilities but contact with others playing across the world has been remote.
