Man City loanee Cancelo frozen out at Bayern Munich

Manchester City loanee Joao Cancelo may be regretting his January transfer decision already.

The Portuguese moved to Bayern Munich for the rest of the season during the past transfer window.

Cancelo was unhappy at his lack of playing time at City under Pep Guardiola this term.

However, Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann is now using a formation that does not bring the best out of Cancelo, meaning he is back on the bench.

At the weekend, the coach said: “He's [Cancelo] handling the situation well.

“I don't have any impression that he's breaking off.

“[Josip] Stanišić is a bit more defensive and João has never played right center-back in a back 3."
