England internationals Kyle Walker and Jack Grealish have, as expected, been left out of the Manchester City squad for the Club World Cup.
It is another indication that neither have a future at the Etihad and both are expected to leave the club this summer.
Walker, who performed poorly for the Three Lions in the 3-1 defeat to Senegal last night, spent the second half of last season on loan at AC Milan but the Rossoneri have opted not to pursue a permanent deal.
The right-back, 35, has won the Premier League title six times with City, as well as the Champions League in 2023, but is unlikely to play again under Pep Guardiola.

No Grealish or McAtee
The same can be said for Grealish, another key part of the City teams that have dominated domestically over recent years.
The 29-year-old winger started just one Premier League game from January onwards and was left out of the matchday squad for their final game at Fulham.
James McAtee is also missing for the tournament in the United States as he is captaining England Under-21s at the European Championship.
Quartet of new signings are heading Stateside
City have, however, included their four new signings in the 27-man party.
Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Marcus Bettinelli were all named in the travelling group and will hope to make positive early impressions.
City have been drawn in Group G alongside Al Ain, Juventus and Wydad Casablanca.
They open their campaign against the Moroccans in Philadelphia next Wednesday.
The City squad is: Ederson, Ortega, Bettinelli; Lewis, Nunes, Khusanov, Reis, Akanji, Stones, Ake, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly, Ait-Nouri; Rodri, Gonzalez, Silva, Reijnders, Gundogan, Foden, Echeverri, Savinho, Doku, Cherki, Bobb; Marmoush, Haaland
