FA Community Shield 2018 - 5 players to watch out for

All eyes will be on the highly rated winger Riyad Mahrez (right)

#3 Leroy Sane (Manchester City)

Manchester City v Liverpool - International Champions Cup 2018
Overlooked by Low, Sane can show what the Germans missed in the World Cup

Unlike the previous name on this list, Leroy Sane had a pretty good 2017/18 season. In the 49 games for the Manchester club, he found the back of the net 14 times. Despite that, he was shockingly left out of the Germany football team by coach Joachim Low.

The decision turned out to be an absolute disaster as Germany not only failed to qualify for Round of 16 but also ended up rock-bottom in their group.

Sane's omission was seen as a for the Citizens as having not played in the World Cup, the winger is fresh and raring to strike big. Pep has found himself a new winger in Riyad Mahrez and with Raheem Sterling already in the team, Sane knows he will have to prove his mettle all over again.

He is expected to start on the left flank and will have to deal with Chelsea's favourite son, Cesar 'Dave' Azpilicueta.
