Published: August 24, 2016
Kelechi Iheanacho will make his first-ever start in the UEFA Champions League in Wednesday night’s play-off tie between his team, Manchester City, and Romanian powerhouse Steaua Bucharest.
Manager Pep Guardiola has named the Nigeria international in the starting line-up while England youth-teamer Tosin Adarabioyo is in line to make his maiden appearance in the competition, having made the bench.

Adarabioyo was a non-playing substitute in two matches in the group stage last term.
