Kelechi Iheanacho has been named in the squad for the pre-season tour of Germany and China.
The young forward joins Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Joe Hart and Vincent Kompany in Pep Guardiola’s 34-man party for City’s games against Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United.
The Youngster , who turns 20 later in October, was initially omitted from the provisional provisional tour squad.
Pep Guardiola has named a 32-man traveling party for the tour to Germany and China. But it is subject to change due to visa applications per Manchester Evening News.
City blocked Nigeria’s attempts to include Iheanacho in their Olympic squad, with Guardiola insisting on the striker joining him for pre season, rather than taking part in the Rio Games.
The 19-year-old will be given the chance to establish himself as Sergio Aguero’s understudy next season and the tour was going to be his chance to make an impression on City’s new manager. Squad: Joe Hart, Willy Caballero, Angus Gunn, Billy O’Brien, Vincent Kompany, Pablo Zabaleta, Fernando Reges, Raheem Sterling, Samir Nasri, Nolito, Sergio Aguero, Aleksandar Kolarov, Wilfried Bony, Jesus Navas, Fabian Delph, David Silva, Gael Clichy, Fernandinho, Jason Denayer, Nicolas Otamendi, Bruno Zuculini, Yaya Toure, Kelechi Iheanacho, Alex Zinchenko, Pablo Maffeo, Tosin Adarabioyo, Bersant Celina, James Horsfield, Brandon Barker, Sinan Bytyqi, Angelino Tasende, Aleix Garcia, Manu Garcia, Cameron Humphreys.
