A Manchester City winger has missed out on World Cup selection and he must improve to take the next step

Manchester City winger Savinho is on the verge of completing his second season at the club. As of right now, the Brazilian international remains an unfinished product as a player. In 81 appearances for City, Savinho has scored 6 goals and added 16 assists. Those statistics provide a clear indication of what area in Savinho’s game needs to improve. That is his end product. Unfortunately, Savinho hasn’t had an effective season for Pep Guardiola’s side. He’s been a squad player for City, and lately he has been deployed as an impact substitute. Given that Savinho hasn’t been a first-team regular at City this season, it seemed unlikely that he would make Brazil’s squad for this summer’s World Cup. That is what has occurred. Savinho has to take the next step to become a regular for both club and country, and the area where he needs to improve is obvious.

Savinho has missed out on selection in Brazil’s 55-man pre World Cup squad list.

CityXtra has reported that Savinho has missed out on selection in Brazil’s preliminary 55-man squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup. The news is a blow for the young winger. However, the news isn’t a major surprise. Brazil is blessed with a host of quality wingers, and given how this season has panned out for Savinho, it would have been a surprise if he was included in Brazil’s World Cup squad. The challenge is now in front of Savinho to take the next steps as a player to solidify himself in the City starting eleven and push his case to be a regular for his country.
