The chances of young Nigeria forward Kelechi Iheancho playing in the prestigious UEFA champions league is almost non existent due to the competition rule on players registration and the large size of Manchester City squad.
Every club participating in the Champion’s League must submit two lists of players to UEFA, List A and List B. List B is for young players and there is no limit to the number of players that can be submitted on that list. List A is for any player not eligible for List B.
For a player to be eligible for List B the player must be born in1991 or later and he must have already spent at least two full continuous seasons at the club.
A maximum of 25 players can be submitted on List A, of which at least 8 must be “locally-trained”, and of those 8, 4 must be “club-trained” and when the signing of Kevin De Bruyne goes through they will now have 25 senior team player including Iheanacho.
However he still might be omitted from the team due to the large size of City squad and he is not yet qualify to be on the B list as he is yet to spend two full season with the big spenders.
Iheanacho surest chance of getting listed is in the event of a player departure from the team and current reports indicates Jason Denayer might be on his way out.
