Overview
- Trafford, who spoke to BBC Sport on Friday, called his season "very up and down" after seeing his minutes shrink at Manchester City.
- He began as starter for the first three Premier League matches before Gianluigi Donnarumma’s deadline‑day signing pushed him into a cup‑only role.
- He has delivered in those games, keeping a clean sheet in the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal and saving a Mohamed Salah penalty in the FA Cup.
- The 23‑year‑old is expected to start City’s FA Cup semi‑final against Southampton at Wembley on Saturday.
- Despite the limited club action, he made his England debut in March against Uruguay and says he hopes to be in Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad.
