Manchester City have left striker Stevan Jovetic out of their Champions League squad to accommodate new £25m signing Wilfried Bony, reports BBC Sport. The arrival of Ivory Coast international Bony from Swansea in January meant City had one more foreign player in their squad than they are permitted to register for European competition.
Governing body UEFA published City's revised squad for the second half of the season on Thursday and Jovetic's name was not included.
The decision by manager Manuel Pellegrini to leave out Jovetic means that he will continue to be restricted to just three senior strikers for the remainder of the competition - now Bony, Sergio Aguero and Dzeko.
