That's possible, nobody outside the club and UEFA seems to know the exact detail of the restrictions that apply to this squad selection - for example how many players can we change (normally a max. of three)?

Very simple really. Uefa are "validating" City's squad - tell City what players can be in squad - then - IF City happen to reach the Semi' -of Champs. League -Uefa go into a flat spin - and inform City that we played an illegible player - in the Quarters - City protest - Uefa says City "misunderstood
the rules and regulations" - City get thrown out of the competition.........Seemples!

Not as far fetched as it might seem. If I was in charge I would want uefa approval for the squad, in writing, in triplicate before a ball was kicked.
 
Re: Champions League Squad

It doesn't make any sense to omit a striker from the squad. Yes, the likes of Dzeko and Jovetic have struggled this season, but our lack of firepower in certain games this season is exactly why we’ve turned to Wilfried Bony. Bony has been added to give City that depth up front that they’ve been lacking, so why would they then omit a striker? It makes no sense to me.

For me, it's got to be Kolarov that misses out.

I wrote in greater detail about who should be omitted from the CL squad for the Maine Blues, last night: <a class="postlink" href="http://bit.ly/1u9rSnm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://bit.ly/1u9rSnm</a>

Shakhtar's squad was put on the UEFA site 15 minutes ago !!

But Shakhtar tweeted it some time before UEFA put it out

So we 're not waiting for UEFA to issue it first

Seems that City could tell us if they wanted to
Juan Cuadrado has been added to Chelseas too.


Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice would say.

I didn't know there was a maximum on how many you could change, I wonder if UEFA have turned around and said "didn't we make it plain that you can't change any?"

Is it only ours yet to be published?
Just from a quick gander, Bayern and Juventus haven't been updated yet either so maybe there's no drama after all?

Lol, what am I saying...

I reckon it depends on whether Pellegrini thinks he can play Dzeko and Bony together just as he sometimes played Dzeko and Negredo. If he does, and he also plays a single striker in the away legs and some home legs, there doesnt seem to much of a need for Jovetic.
