The 21-year-old earned Pep Guardiola's approval last season and featured for City towards the campaign's end. These appearances were a sign of the manager's faith in him, which has spilt over into this summer's league preparations.
Bobb made an impact with a goal and two assists in City's narrow 4-3 defeat by Celtic in their first friendly. He continued his fine form with contributions against AC Milan and netting in the 4-2 victory over Chelsea. His sights are now set on making a mark in the upcoming Community Shield clash with Manchester United on Saturday.
With Palmer's move to Chelsea last season and Alvarez heading to Atletico Madrid this summer, Bobb's chances of regular game time this season look likely, even if he isn't in the starting line-up regularly.
