Plays 45 minutes in season finale Fernandinho took a shot and made a clearance in Sunday's 3-2 victory against Aston Villa.
Impact Fernandinho started at center back against Villa but was taken off at halftime as City were chasing the game. He is ending a nine-year stint in Manchester having tallied 26 goals and 33 assists in 383 appearances in all competitions, and he was an incredibly important member of a team that won five Premier Leagues, one FA Cup and six League Cups since he joined from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2013. But the 37-year-old started to slow down in 2020/21 and Rodri began replacing him as the starter in defensive midfield, and it is now time for Fernandinho to depart for a new challenge, which will likely be a return to Brazil.

Impact Fernandinho was making his first start in the club's last five contests and was filling in at central defense due to the number of injured defenders. With no clear alternatives and Aymeric Laporte (knee) also picking up a knock, Manchester City could find itself reaching into the U23 squad to fill out the backline Sunday if Fernandinho can't play.

Impact At this point, Man City may not have any center-backs by the end of the season, so the next few days of training will be importantnt. With Fernandinho a doubt, the thought is that Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake will start at center-back Sunday, though both are dealing with their own injuries.

Comes off the bench in Champions League Fernandinho made a clearance, two interceptions and won one of one tackles in Wednesday's 0-0 Champions League draw against Atletico Madrid.
Impact Fernandinho played the final 11 minutes -- although it turned into 20 minutes with all of the stoppage time added on at the end -- of Wednesday's Champions League second leg, and helped see out a clean sheet as City advanced by the skin of their teeth. The 36-year-old has made just 24 appearances in all competitions this season, and he recently announced that he's not planning on extending his contract with City, so he will be very motivated to try to end on a high note and captain his team to potentially its first ever Champions League win.

Scores off bench in win Fernandinho scored a goal off his lone shot after coming off the bench during Sunday's 2-1 win over West Ham.
Impact Fernandinho was brought in the 87th minute, replacing Raheem Sterling to provide some defensive help, but made a huge impact on the offensive end instead, doubling his side's lead with a one-time shot from just inside the box. On the other hand, the midfielder committed a big mistake on the final play of the contest, losing the ball in front of his own box before Manuel Lanzini scored the consolation goal for the opposition. Fernandinho will probably remain an option off the bench for Wednesday's visit to Aston Villa.

Staying at Man City another year Fernandinho has signed a one-year deal with Manchester City, keeping him at the club another season.
Impact Fernandinho still has enough in the tank to help the squad, but his playing time could diminish more than the 21 league appearances (12 starts) he had last season. He's the backup to Rodri in the midfield and while he's not a regular, he still made some key starts over the season, namely in the second leg against PSG in the Champions League semi-final.

Gets rare assists in big win Fernandinho assisted twice and had two more chances created in Sunday's 5-0 win against Everton.
Impact Fernandinho was up the field a little more than usual Sunday because Man City dominated the entire way and while one assist was a bit lucky, he was still in position for it. His role is slowly diminishing in the squad, especially with Rodri around, and that resulted in just 21 league appearances (12 starts) this past season.

Impact Fernandinho closed the season as a bench option in four of the final five league matches.
