The players will be at the Bordesley Green hospital from 11am to 2pm with the cup, which city scooped after beating Arsenal on February 27.

Patients and visitors will get their chance to be photographed with the cup for a donation to a hospital fundraising campaign.

Hospital play specialist Chris Morrell said: “I am a huge City fan and can’t wait for the cup to come to the hospital.

“On the day we will also be asking those who wish to have their photo taken to offer a donation to our children and family centred care appeal, which will be raising money to completely refurbish the children’s ward.

“This will give all of those patients who weren’t able to attend the game at Wembley due to being in hospital a chance to see the cup and celebrate all over again.”
