Man City boss Pellegrini denies freezing out Sinclair

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini denies he's freezing out Scott Sinclair.

The 25-year-old has not made a Premier League appearance this season despite encouraging pre-season form.

Ahead of the game against Sinclair's old club Swansea, Pellegrini said: "We have a squad.

"Scott knows perfectly what his place is in the squad.

"He must work every day and the moment I think he is better than the players we have, he will have a chance. All the players have a chance to change the mind of the manager. That just depends on the way I see him or anyone works in the week.

"Maybe he had the chance also to go on loan at the beginning of the season. He decided to stay here. I don't have any problem."
