Kelechi Iheanacho has been included in Manchester City's Champions League squad.
Iheanacho has been added to Manchester City's Champions League squad, replacing Samir Nasri.
"He will be in the squad - he had the option to demonstrate why he is with the squad," City boss Manuel Pellegrini said.
"He played really well and will continue to fight to start. It's very important to use the whole squad because it is very different to do it with 11 players.
"I've told Nasri that I'll take him out of the Champions League list. We need Kelechi now because of Bony's injury also.
"It was not a difficult decision. It's difficult to tell a player but Samir understood - he knows he needs two months more."
