Stevan Jovetic must make way for Wilfried Bony

Manchester City have left striker Stevan Jovetic out of their Champions League squad to accommodate new £25m (€33m) signing Wilfried Bony.

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.

The decision by manager Manuel Pellegrini to leave out Jovetic means he will continue to be restricted to just three senior strikers for the remainder of the competition — Bony, Sergio Aguero and Dzeko.
