Algerian international Rayan Aït Nouri has ended his period of inactivity by returning to the pitch with Manchester City. The 25-year-old defender made his comeback during the Champions League clash against AEK Athens, coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute, marking his first appearance since September 17. With only three appearances across all competitions this season, Aït Nouri aims to regain his form and secure a regular spot in the team. This return follows a challenging period for the defender, who had also departed the national team's training camp due to a conflict with the coaching staff.
