Manchester City will have to omit one of their new signings from their Champions League squad for the second half of the season and face the decision of which of their expensive arrivals to disappoint.
City were the biggest spenders in Europe in the January window, paying over £170m – which could rise above £180m if add-ons are triggered – for defenders Abdudokir Khusanov and Vitor Reis, forward Omar Marmoush and midfielder Nico Gonzalez.
