Mancini claims Man City squad is short on depth

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini believes his squad does not have enough depth.

The Italian claims he does not have the embarrassment of riches as most outsiders think he does, especially after Yaya and Kolo Toure left for the African Cup of Nations with the Ivory Coast team.

"All the people think we have a lot of players," said Mancini. "But we have 19, plus keepers. It is not a big squad.

"If we are unlucky and we have three or four players injured, like at this moment, we can have a problem. The club knows this."
