Owen Hargreaves‘ desire to play his debut match for Manchester City in the Premier League is expected to happen in the near future. Because the physical and mental readiness of the former Manchester United midfielder is getting better.

“He’s in his best shape. When other players come back from international matches, Owen will be there with pre-season training in his hand, “said assistant manager David Platt.

Platt assessed the presence of Hargreaves will benefit his team. Unlike other players who will be tired after appearing at various international matches, Hargreaves will be fitter so that he could be an alternative to fill the defensive midfield position.

Hargreaves himself had played his debut game with The Citizens in the Carling Cup against Birmingham City. He managed to perform well and contributed a goal.
