Jack Grealish and Kalvin Phillips have been named as part of a Manchester City squad packed with youngsters for their four match tour of the United States.

Grealish was cut from the England squad when Gareth Southgate named his 26-man Euro 2024 squad, while Phillips dropped completely out of contention after a disastrous loan move to West Ham in the second half of the season.

Striker Erling Haaland is also included after Norway failed to reach the Euros.

Ederson has now recovered from the eye injury that kept him out of the FA Cup final and Copa America duty with Brazil.

Back-up goalkeeper Stefan Ortega is also named, along with England defender Rico Lewis.

No players involved in Euro 2024 or Copa America have been picked although it is anticipated Croatia duo Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic will link up at some stage.

City open their tour against Celtic in Chapel Hill on 23 July.

They take on AC Milan at Yankee Stadium on 27 July, before further matches against Barcelona and Chelsea.
