'Wonderful few weeks' for Trafford - Green
· Yahoo Sports
Former Premier League goalkeeper Rob Green believes James Trafford would not start for Manchester City in a Champions League final but "could grow" in that role.
Trafford has kept back-to-back clean sheets in the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal and FA Cup quarter-final win against Liverpool, but has not started in the Premier League since Gianluigi Donnarumma was signed after the first three games.

"He's had a wonderful few weeks," Green told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
"He had a really good evening with England despite not winning and he had his moments at Wembley for Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.
"On Saturday he had his moment again and we know the FA Cup is all about moments.
"What Donnarumma does, and this is not to say the Carabao Cup isn't a great occasion, is he grows in those huge occasions.
"I don't think City play James Trafford in a Champions League final. I don't think he would get the nod even now. But I think he could grow to be. Whether he is there for it, I don't know.
"I don't know how he looks at this season now. The only problem [with him leaving to become a number one] is if clubs have money they can afford to spend on a goalkeeper.
"You're bottom of the queue if you're a goalkeeper in terms of transfers. They move for less."
