Following his impressive performance in the English Premier League, EPL, Manchester City has rewarded Kelechi Iheanacho with a place in its UEFA Champions League squad.
Iheanacho who scored a hat trick over the weekend against Aston Villa will be taking the place of injured Samir Nasri in Manuel Pellegrini's 25 man squad.
“Yes, he (Iheanacho) will be in the squad.
“I have decided that. I told Samir Nasri I will take him out from the Champions League list because he needs two more months to be fit.
“We need Kelechi, because with Wilfried Bony injured, we cannot afford any risks if Kun [Sergio Aguero] is injured.
“So, we need Kelechi in the squad. It was not a difficult decision, but it’s always difficult to tell a player he will not continue in the selections.
“But I think Samir understood. He has already been injured for three months and he understands,” said Pellegrini
