Manchester City announced on Thursday evening, January 23, 2025, the signing of Egyptian international Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt. Fans are now eagerly waiting for the 25-year-old’s first match under Pep Guardiola’s management.
Marmoush joins City just hours after their defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. With what could be Guardiola’s toughest season yet, hopes are high that the new signing will help turn things around quickly.
The Egyptian forward is expected to adapt quickly to City’s system and could make an immediate impact. Fans are looking forward to seeing him contribute his 35th goal involvement this season, following his impressive record of 20 goals and 14 assists for Frankfurt in the past six months.
When Will Marmoush Play His First Match for Manchester City?
According to the German outlet “Sky Sports”, Marmoush is set to be included in Manchester City’s squad for their Premier League match against Chelsea, following the official announcement of his transfer.
This game is scheduled for Saturday, January 25, 2025, at the Etihad Stadium. It will kick off at 7:30 PM Cairo time and 8:30 PM Mecca time. While Marmoush will likely feature in the squad, it remains uncertain whether Guardiola will play him for a few minutes or wait until the next game. If he does not play against Chelsea, his debut could come in the following match against Arsenal.
Marmoush will not be eligible to play in the crucial Champions League match against Club Brugge, but he will be available to participate in the competition starting from the round of 16 play-offs.
