Man City Coach Guardiola Refuses To Change Decision, Names Iheanacho On Bench Vs Gladbach

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has announced his starting line-up ahead of tonight’s Champions League clash against Borussia Mönchengladbach at Etihad Stadium.

In case you were not aware, the game was supposed to be held on Tuesday night at the same venue but was postponed until Wednesday because of unfavorable weather conditions.

The Spanish manger of the Citizens has replaced David Silva in the starting XI, bringing in new signing Ä°lkay GündoÄ�an, but has stuck with his decision to name Kelechi Iheanacho on the bench.

The 19-year-old Nigerian talent started the 1-0 loss to Steaua Bucharest on August 24, only to be substituted in the 76th minute after developing cramps in his leg muscles.

Manchester City Starting XI : Bravo, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Stones, Kolarov, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Sterling, Navas, Aguero

Substitutes : Caballero, Sagna, Nolito, Sane, Clichy, Iheanacho, Angelino
