Geronimo Rulli Shines in League Cup for Manchester City as Gianluigi Donnarumma Retains No. 1 Spot

A potential shake-up is brewing in Manchester City's goal as former Marseille goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli delivered a standout performance against Brighton in the League Cup. Earning an 8/10 from the Manchester Evening News, Rulli made crucial saves and became the hero in the penalty shootout, capitalising on an opportunity while Gianluigi Donnarumma watched from the stands following a difficult run of form.

Despite the Argentine's heroics, manager Enzo Maresca quickly dismissed any talk of a changing guard. While praising Rulli's distribution and crucial interventions during the match, Maresca firmly reaffirmed his trust in Donnarumma, confirming the Italian will start on Saturday. Although the goalkeeper hierarchy remains officially unchanged, Rulli has certainly proven he is a reliable option ready when called upon.
