Man City Announces Lineup for Final Against Crystal Palace – Is Khusanov In?

Abduqodir Khusanov has made it into Manchester City’s squad for the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace, though he is not in the starting XI. The match will be held at Wembley Stadium.

Starting lineup: Ortega, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Riley, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Savinho, Marmoush, Doku, Haaland.

Husanov has been named among the substitutes and could see game time during the match.

Since March 2025, Khusanov hasn’t featured in any official games for the club, missing six consecutive matches — some as an unused sub, others entirely out of the squad.

However, ahead of the final, he was seen in team photos alongside City stars Haaland, Silva, Savinho and Carson, a likely sign that the Uzbek defender was included in the extended squad for the crucial clash.
