Iheanacho, Ideye to start on bench in Man City, West Brom clash



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]
Interestingly, Nigeria internationals Brown Ideye and Victor Anichebe failed to make the starting XI for West Brom, though both are amongst the seven substitutes.
Kelechi Iheanacho scored two goals for The Citizens during pre – season training.
Manchester City Starting XI: Hart, Sagna, Kompany (C), Mangala, Kolarov, Toure, Fernandinho, Navas, Silva, Sterling, Bony
