Pep Guardiola sent out a reminder that Manchester City are “innocent until proven guilty” as the club prepares to defend itself against accusations of cheating in a private hearing due to start next week.
Man City are facing 115 charges for allegedly breaking the financial rules of the Premier League, which they have won for the last four seasons running.
Those charges will be heard at an independent hearing, which is set to begin on Monday at an unknown location, subject to any late legal delays.
This case has been years in the making, but it will be months before we know the outcome. The trial is set to run for 10 weeks and a verdict expected in early 2025.
