James Trafford has kept three clean sheets in seven games for Manchester City this season
On Tuesday afternoon, James Trafford was preparing for Manchester City's Carabao Cup quarter-final against Brentford after boss Pep Guardiola told the media he would be starting the game.
At the same time, Gianluigi Donnarumma was polishing his latest individual accolade having been named Fifa best goalkeeper for 2025, three months on from winning a similar gong at the Ballon d'Or awards.
It sums up how Trafford is up against the very best in the business.
The Englishman started the season as number one after returning to City in the summer but has been warming the bench since the arrival of the towering Italian from Paris St-Germain.
