Manchester City travel to Turin for tonight’s Champions League clash with Group D rivals Juventus.
Victory for the Sky Blues would put them out of the Bianconeri’s reach and confirm them as group winners.
The only possibility of European elimination is the unlikely combination of two City losses, and two goal-heavy Sevilla wins, which seems a little far-fetched.
Manuel Pellegrini has been forced to name three City youth players on the bench for the clash with Juve, with a number of injuries impacting his squad.
Tosin Adarabioyo
Nigerian-born, Adarabioyo recently represented England in their victorious 5-1 drubbing of Japan in an under-19s friendly match at City’s Academy stadium. He plays his trade at the back, holding steady as a centre back.
Pablo Maffeo
This Spanish 18-year-old is yet to play in an official league, cup or European match, but got a taste of first team experience back in May when he was part of the side that saw off Toronto FC during City’s post-season tour of North America. Prefers to play right-back, but has deputised as a centre-back before.
Bersant Celina
Hailing from Kosovo, Celina is a key figure of City’s Elite Development Squad (EDS) in the Under-21 league. The midfielder has been in stunning form recently, scoring a goal in each of City U21’s last three games, helping them to victories over Norwich and Chelsea.
