However, the Citizens reportedly said there was no room on the flight and alternative travel plans will have to be arranged.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Garnacho, 20, and Mainoo, 19, have been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kopa-trophy-2024-nominees-revealed-ballon-dor-best-young-player-award/blt586eb7cd15168784" target="_blank">nominated for the Kopa Trophy</a> - which is awarded to the best player under the age of 21 from the previous season.
