Last Updated : 16-Feb-2026 by Footymad

Manchester City’s number two goalkeeper James Trafford has faced criticism from fans after admitting he was "squeezed out" of the first-team picture following the club's signing of a new hospitality tier in the stadium.

Trafford, who started the season as a potential successor to Ederson, has seen his minutes limited.

Pundits have defended the youngster, claiming he was "not told the full story" by the club hierarchy regarding his long-term role at the Etihad.
