Riyad Mahrez match prepared 2019 Community Shield 125 Anniversary shirt, outfield players wore a one off designed shirt while the keepers received a more low key design, which were just based on a standard team wear template shirt from Puma with ironed on name & numbers. Mahrez was originally selected to start the fixture but City officials were concerned with a tablet he had been given while away on International duty with Algeria so insisted he be checked by the City medical team before he played again as a precaution. Leroy Sane, who had virtually agreed his move to Bayern Munich replaced him and in true ‘typical City style’ was injured in the first 10 minutes and had to wait a full year before he completed the transfer, the Mahrez test came back completely clear so he could of in fact started the fixture which blues won with a penalty shootout over Liverpool.
