Gets assist off the bench

Ait-Nouri assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Tuesday's 2-0 victory against FC Porto.

Analysis: Ait-Nouri benefitted from a late goal by Erling Haaland to get an assist, and that'll boost his confidence ahead of the Manchester Derby. He's unlikely to see the pitch against Manchester United but if he does, it's a good matchup as the club did concede 50 goals a year ago in EPL play and has given up six already so far this season in three matches.

Ready for new season

Ait-Nouri is ready for the new season with Manchester City, playing the second half of Saturday's friendly against Inter during the Asian tour, the club posted.

Analysis: Ait-Nouri finished the World Cup with Algeria contributing solid defensive numbers, contributing 16 tackles, five interceptions and four clearances. His involvement in the second half of Saturday's friendly is an encouraging sign as he builds toward the new season, with his focus now shifting fully to preseason preparations under new coach Enzo Maresca.
