Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has included 17-year-old goalkeeper Max Hudson in his squad for their UEFA Champions League showdown against Juventus on Wednesday.
Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the development in a tweet, revealing that Hudson replaces veteran goalkeeper Scott Carson in the traveling squad.
“17-year-old GK Max Hudson called into the Manchester City senior squad for the Champions League game v Juventus,” Romano wrote. “He’s replacing Scott Carson, as one more talent joining the first team from the Academy.”
Hudson, a rising talent from City’s Academy, is set to experience his first major European competition exposure under Guardiola, who is known for giving opportunities to young players. This inclusion highlights City’s commitment to nurturing homegrown talent alongside their star-studded lineup.
City’s fans are eager to see if Hudson will feature in the high-stakes match against the Italian giants, as the defending European champions aim to secure their place in the next stage of the competition.
