What is a squad?
A football 'squad' is the group of players available to a manager for selection in matches. The story mentions Marc Guehi and Rico Lewis, who are part of City's squad alongside new signing Bouaddi. Managers carefully manage their squad, ensuring they have enough players in each position to cover injuries, suspensions, and tactical changes throughout a long season.
