Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has indicated that all goalkeepers in the squad will play a role this season as he prepares for the upcoming Manchester derby against United. With the recent signing of Italian international Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain, alongside James Trafford and Marcus Bettinelli, Guardiola is faced with the decision of whether to start Donnarumma or continue with Trafford, who has been in goal for the first three matches of the season.

Guardiola acknowledged the significant contribution of former number one Ederson, who has transferred to Fenerbahçe after an impressive eight-year tenure at City, during which he helped shape the club's success. The manager expressed his desire for a "new experience" as he transitions to a new goalkeeping dynamic, highlighting Donnarumma's physical presence and experience in high-pressure situations, particularly from last season's Champions League.

Despite the excitement around Donnarumma's arrival, Guardiola reassured supporters that Trafford, a promising young talent, will also see game time: "I can only play one keeper, but everyone will be involved." This inclusive approach aims to maintain squad morale and readiness throughout a long season.

As City prepares for the derby, they are looking to bounce back from a difficult start, currently sitting in 13th place in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Guardiola's comments reflect his ongoing strategy to adapt the team's strengths and ensure that all players contribute effectively as the season unfolds.
