Scott Carson, 38, set for shock new Man City contract as former England keeper’s incredible trophy haul is revealed
The former England keeper was one of the first to the podium on Sunday as he was on the bench as Manchester City clinched a fourth straight crown.
He did not take a medal at the time as he did not feature in a single game for the champions over the course of the season.
However he is expected to receive one from the club in the coming weeks – just like he has done in each of the past three seasons.
Anyone who makes five appearances in the league over the course of a season is guaranteed a medal from the Prem.
However the champions usually receive around 40 and in recent years City have made sure they look after players who have not reached that figure – but play their part.
Despite only making two appearances in his five years at the Etihad, Carson, 38, is a much loved member of the first team squad.
He was filmed leading the celebrations among the City squad back in the dressing room minutes after the final whistle of Sunday’s final game against West Ham.
Boss Pep Guardiola is also close to Carson and has spoken before of the important role the ex-Derby keeper plays with squad morale.
The veteran keeper also received a medal when City ended their long-wait for the Champions League trophy in June last year.
England midfielder Kalvin Phillips made four league appearances for City before heading out on loan to West Ham – and will also get a medal.
However Aymeric Laporte (12 mins), Cole Palmer (10 mins) and James McAtee (1 min) are likely to miss out.
