Fair enough, I hadn't properly taken that into account, and thought the club could decide on such loans.
Thanks for the info

why would they play him because he's on loan from city doesnt carry much weight
The 4 players we loaned to championship teams this season are all playing regular football and two of those are with clubs that are currently promotion contenders.
Echeverri and Simpson Pusey went to 2 clubs with higher profiles and are getting little or no game time.

Started and received 57 minutes in the victory away to Benfica. Presume he’ll play against us.
Championship 25/26 - 14 Possible games
Appearances 8
Goals 0
Assists 0
Yellow Cards 1
Red cards 0
Maybe not but its more than Simpson Pusey and Echeverri are getting
Pusey situation is bizarre. We have had several players on loan on much better Celtic teams play frequently.
I think Echeverri is just case of the chaos that has been at Leverkusen. Now that it has stabilised we might see him play more. He has played in the last two matches against premium opponents.
I pointed Aloeyne as that example is the opposite. He started almost every game at the start of the season and did well. Then they sacked the manager and replace him with Gracia and he has not played since.
Is he allowed to?
Yes, in the Champions League thats not an issue.

Yes. Patrick Roberts was on loan to Celtic from us and played in both legs of the CL tie back in 2016. UEFA believes that preventing such appearances would merely weaken sides and dilute the overall quality of the competition, so better there be no restrictions.

One can never tell whether the manager will remain in place for the season and how any change might affect a player's loan. It's one of the reasons I'm glad Middlesborough have rebuffed Wolves' approach for Edwards; Nypan has settle nicely there and is in line for a solid season. I do wonder in Echeverri's case whether we should have insisted on bringing him to the club earlier and then loaned him out immediately in England. If my understanding of Nypan's situation is correct, a reason we were keen for him to play on Teeside and not on the continent is that he will henceforth qualify as homegrown.
Are you forgetting an even more recent high profile player that played against us in the champions league?

Watched it whilst making my Tea :0)

Definitely work in progress,needs to show and get involved more possibly?
Did not see a lot going forward??
But that maybe what the Manager wants, defensively only?
I think he just needs more minutes at this level to see how it goes??
Currently I would put him behind Kush in the Centre Half pecking order, in my opinion :0)
Home made Bolognaise tonight ;0)
Yeah saw that very happy he got more minutes. He started the season well for them.
Claudio is on the bench again.
Most importantly how was the Spag Bol?
Just checked the starting line ups and subs. Leverkeusen have a player called Terrier
