Wright-Phillips' son training with City's first-team

The squad were in preparations for their Champions League game at home to Lyon on Wednesday night. 

16-year-old D'Margio Wright-Phillips, along with academy hopeful Dele-Bashiru, joined up with the team as the focused changed from domestic competition. 

D'Margio Wright-Phillips has impressed for City's under-18 side so far this campaign having scored once and assisted six more in the first five games of the season. 

He aims to break into the first-team like his father did and obtain the No. 24 shirt, showing the influence Shaun has had on his life. 

He has featured for England at youth level too, and also possesses a similar playing style to his dad - he is a tricky and quick winger. 

He spoke of his plans for the future: "Some people might think I’ve got in because of my dad but that’s not the case.

"My chosen number would have to be my dad’s old number, 24. At the moment my shirt number depends on where I play or if I am on the bench.

"I was a City fan growing up so it’s fantastic to be here. Ever since I can remember I’ve always wanted to be a footballer.
