Manchester City is currently in pursuit of three trophies and has most of their squad available, leading to frustration for player Rico Lewis. The team has been on a winning streak since their last defeat in 2024, with key players like Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland, and John Stones returning from injuries. This has resulted in Lewis seeing a significant drop in playing time and moving into the shadows at the Etihad Stadium.
Lewis, a talented 19-year-old player who broke into the first-team last season, has only made a few appearances in 2024, mostly in the Champions League. His game time has declined significantly, with him not playing a single minute in City’s last seven Premier League matches. With key players like Mateo Kovacic and John Stones fit, Lewis has found it difficult to secure minutes in midfield and right-back positions, further diminishing his opportunities to play.
As City enters the business end of the season, Lewis may continue to struggle for playing time as Pep Guardiola relies on experienced players for crucial matches. Despite his talent and versatility, Lewis’s lack of experience has hindered his chances of playing regularly for the team. He will need to stay ready for whenever he is called upon and hope for opportunities to showcase his skills in the remaining games of the season.
