Man City boss Eriksson holding back Caicedo

Manchester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson won't risk new signing Felipe Caicedo today at Manchester United.

January signing Benjani Mwaruwari, finally a City player after his protracted move from Portsmouth was ratified by the Premier League following a hold-up, should make his debut in the match but fellow newcomer Caicedo may have to wait.

"At 19 years old I think I'd be putting a lot of pressure if I let him play away at Old Trafford after two training sessions. He maybe doesn't even know all the names of our players yet," said Eriksson.
