Kelechi Iheanacho was named in Manchester City’s 18 – man squad for Monday night’s Premier League clash against West Brom.
It remains to be seen if the 18 – year – old will be introduced in the second half, as Argentina star Sergio Aguero and France international Nasri are out of the starting line-up, with coach Manuel Pellegrini naming both on the bench.[post_ad]
