Man City boss Pellegrini admits Negredo to be omitted from Champions League squad

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini admits Alvaro Negredo is likely to be left out of his Champions League squad.

Pellegrini says Negredo, who is out with a broken metatarsal until October, may be left out of City's Champions League squad.

City are only allowed 16 foreign players in a reduced 21-man squad this season as punishment for breaching Financial Fair Play regulations.

Pellegrini said: "When we have to give the squad of the Champions League, we will decide which player we must leave off the list. We will see how his injury goes."
