City have made two changes to the 21-man squad for the knock-out stages of the 2017/18 Champions League.
Aro Muric and Eliaquim Mangala are removed from the squad announced last September, though Muric can still be called upon if necessary as he qualifies via the UEFA List B.
Coming into the squad are Oleksandr Zinchenko and Aymeric Laporte.
Twenty-one players have been added to the List A selection by Pep Guardiola, though he will also be able to call upon the services of those players who are born on or after the 1 January 1996 and have played for the club for an uninterrupted period of two years – they are included on UEFA’s List B and include Muric, Brahim Diaz, Phil Foden and Lukas Nmecha.
The 21-man List A squad is:
Goalkeepers
Claudio Bravo, Ederson
Defenders
Danilo, Vincent Kompany, Benjamin Mendy, Nicolas Otamendi, John Stones, Kyle Walker, Aymeric Laporte, Oleksandr Zinchenko
Midfielders
Fabian Delph, Kevin De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Ilkay Gundogan, Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva, David Silva, Yaya Toure
Forwards
Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus

Strange to look at the list and see it broken down into Defenders, midfield and forwards. Our team is that fluid at the moment that they don't actually fit in there anymore.

Is Mendy close to returning?

8 weeks or so it’s said.
Can’t wait to see him back he really caused some teams real problems and he’s a monster of a bloke.
Quite imposing for an opposition player to come up against.
