Man City squad: Confirmed squad numbers for 2022/23

06 July 2022 20:50

Manchester City will be looking to make it three Premier League titles in a row in 2022/23, although they will be attempting to do so with a new-look squad.

A number of established stars have moved on, while others seem likely to leave as a new era gets underway at the Etihad Stadium - a new era that blockbuster new signing Erling Haaland will be at the heart of.

All of that means there will be a shake up of the club's squad numbers for the new season.

As it stands, here are Man City's squad numbers for the 2022/23 campaign...

Man City squad numbers available to new players

Haaland is almost certain to take the number nine following Gabriel Jesus' move to Arsenal.

Although there are plenty available, the most realistic that any other new first-team signings might take are...

  • 1
  • 9
  • 12
  • 15
  • 19
  • 21
  • 22
  • 23
  • 24
  • 25
  • 28
  • 29
  • 30
  • 32

What numbers can Premier League players wear?

As long as it is unique within their squad, Premier League players can wear any number between one and 99, although tradition dictates that you will usually see first-teamers donning one to about 30 - barring a few exceptions.

Man City youngster Cole Palmer holds the record for the highest number in Premier League history, making four appearances in the number 80.

Also following tradition, goalkeepers will generally occupy numbers one and 13.

Premier League players cannot wear the number zero - and that's fair enough because it would be a bit silly.


Can Premier League players change squad numbers?

Premier League players are only allowed to change their squad number during pre-season or if one is sold or loaned to another club in the January transfer window.

Clubs must submit their confirmed squad list - including shirt numbers - by a specified deadline each year, and numbers cannot be changed thereafter. In 2021 that deadline was 1 September.
