Enzo Maresca held his first press conference since Manchester City were found guilty of all charges tied to serious breaches of Premier League financial rules, fielding questions on the fallout from the landmark verdict.

The City manager had already broken his silence earlier in the week through an interview conducted by the club itself, in which he stated he "completely trusts" Manchester City. The club have lodged an appeal against the verdict.

Friday's press briefing gave Maresca the opportunity to address a wider range of questions from the media, including inquiries into the fitness and availability of players ahead of Sunday's visit to Liverpool.

Eyes on Anfield

Manchester City travel to Anfield on Sunday for a high-stakes Premier League fixture against Liverpool, live on Sky Sports with coverage starting at 4pm and kick-off at 4.30pm.

Among the squad updates expected, Maresca was set to provide clarity on the availability of Nico O'Reilly and Antoine Semenyo ahead of the trip to Merseyside.

The fixture arrives at a turbulent moment for Manchester City, who are navigating the consequences of one of the most significant disciplinary verdicts in English football history while preparing for a top-flight clash against one of their fiercest rivals.
