Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has left three big names at home as they embark on their preseason tour of the USA.
Ruthless Mancini has told Emmanuel Adebayor, Craig Bellamy and Wayne Bridge to stay at home when his squad fly out to Los Angeles this morning, says the Daily Star.
The trio have been grounded and will be forced to train on their own at the club's Carrington base.
The move is a final kick in the teeth and will signal the end of their City careers, with Mancini desperate to find them new clubs before the start of the season.
Adebayor wants a return to Real Madrid, Celtic and Blackburn Rovers have shown interest in Bellamy while Newcastle United want Bridge.
