UEFA have published City’s latest UEFA Cup campaign squad list in advance of the Round of 32 first leg clash in Copenhagen on the 19th February and Nigel De Jong dips out…
It must have been a tough decision for Mark Hughes to omit The Dutch Enforcer but UEFA Cup rules dictate that a club can register a maximum of three new players in the winter transfer window.
Hughes and his backroom staff have settled upon Shay Given, Craig Bellamy and Wayne Bridge as the eligible new recruits.
Bridge, even though having already played in the Champions League with Chelski is allowed to play in the UEFA Cup under the unsurprisingly complicated guidelines.
At least the Vital MC Forums favourite Gelson Fernandes will be on hand to control midfield.
Someone might have dropped a clanger however as ‘Everton’s’ Jô remains on the list at the expense of The Raging Bulgar Valeri Bojinov.
