2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ait-Nouri heads to Manchester City with decent expectations after he was their first signing of the summer from Wolverhampton. He'll likely open as a left-back with tons of range to sit in the attack to rip shots and crosses. At Wolves last season, he had four goals and seven assists in 37 starts, numbers that seem a little too difficult to replicate given that he won't be as big of a focal point. Still, he'll be primed for more clean sheets and offers tons in the attack as a defender, so the upside is evident as long as the starting minutes are there.

Traveling with team
Ait-Nouri (ankle) is traveling with the team for Tuesday's match agaisnt Villarreal.
ANALYSIS
Ait-Nouri could be in for his return Tuesday, as the defender is traveling with the team after missing the past seven games through injury. This is huge news for the club as they enter the busy parts of the season, not only gaining back depth but more importantly gaining back a regular starter. The question remains if he will see the start or not immediately and the club will be cautious, as Nico O'Reilly has has success since Ait-Nouri went down, although he is also dealing with a minor injury.
