Signs new City deal Lewis (undisclosed) has signed a new contract with Manchester City until the end of the 2029/30 on Friday.

Impact The versatile full-back has enjoyed a solid start to the new season and is quickly settling into a starting role. His recent performances have led City to lock him up on a long-term deal. Lewis is a doubt for Sunday's derby against Manchester United.

Should be available Lewis (undisclosed) should be available for Sunday's derby against Manchester United, coach Pep Guardiola said in the press conference. "The rest are fine."

Impact Lewis has been withdrawn from the England U21 squad due to an undisclosed injury that revealed to be minor since he resumed team training this week without any issue. The defender is expected to be available for Sunday's derby against United and will be in contention for the starting spot at right-back with Matheus Nunes.

Withdrawn from England U21 squad Lewis (undisclosed) has been withdrawn from the England U21 squad due to injury, the club announced.

Impact Lewis is dealing with an undisclosed injury as he has been withdrawn from the England U21 squad and will therefore not participate in this month's opening 2027 UEFA Under-21 EURO qualifier. The full-back will likely be assessed in the coming days by the medical staff to determine the extent of his injury and if he could be back available for the derby against Manchester United on Sept. 14 after the international break. That said, if he cannot be deemed fit enough for the game, Matheus Nunes will likely replace him again at right-back.

Assist from defense Lewis assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-0 victory over Wolverhampton.

Impact Lewis was given the start in the season opener for a second straight season on Saturday, playing 66 minutes before he was replaced by Matheus Nunes. He would earn an assist before leaving the field, finding Erling Haaland in the 34th minute for the opening goal of the season. The question remains if he will maintain this role this season, as he was quickly switched to a rotational role last season before Nunes saw most of the starts on the right of the defense.

Impact Lewis has continued to see his role grow over the past few years with City, marking his career-high in appearances with the first team with 28. However, he would still split time with Matheus Nunes for more of a rotational role, managing a few goal contributions early in the season when he was the primary starter. He will hope to continue to see this role grow, but continues to see competition for the role, with nothing guaranteed moving forward. He still has a few years left on his contract and should continue in at least a rotational role, just looking to make that jump to a for-sure starting spot.

Appears off bench Lewis registered seven minutes of play off the bench in Friday's 1-0 win versus Wolverhampton.

Impact Lewis was relegated to the bench Friday after seeing a solid performance in their FA Cup win last weekend, where he would score the opening goal and see 90 minutes of play. That said, he would only see seven minutes against Wolves, not seeing a single significant stat in his time on the pitch. This continues his struggle to see time in league play after beginning the season as a starter, only starting in two of his eight appearances on the team sheet since the start of March.

Registers three clearances Lewis generated three clearances in Saturday's 4-0 win against Newcastle United.

Impact Lewis was back in the starting XI Saturday following the injury of Manuel Akanji, as he only appeared off the bench for 45 in Tuesday's UCL loss to Real Madrid. He wasn't all that active in the win as City handled Newcastle, only seeing three clearances and not having much work to do in the defense. He will hope to continue seeing the start, as he has only started in two games since Jan. 4, only having missed four starts all season up until then.

Okay two-way effort Lewis generated three shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat to Juventus.

Impact Lewis was okay as City fell once again, with the left-back putting in a decent two-way game. He would register one clearance and two tackles in the defense to go along with three shots in the attack, ultimately having a quiet day. He will now face a suspension in league play against Manchester United on Sunday before likely returning to the starting XI to face Aston Villa on Dec. 21.

Scores before red card Lewis scored one goal on one shot before being sent off in the 84th minute of Saturday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Lewis scored a crucial equalizer Saturday, giving the defender his first goal of the season and third Premier League goal contribution in 14 appearances. However, it was not all good, as he was also sent off in the 84th minute after seeing his second yellow of the match for a hard sliding challenge. This will leave him suspended for their game against manchineel United on Dec. 15, which will cause the club to do some changing around. They will hope for the return of Manuel Akanji (undisclosed) or Nathan (hamstring) Ake from injury to take his spot, with John Stones (foot) also a possibility if fit. Lewis will next be available against Aston Villa on Dec. 21.
