That would be a bit odd. Maybe initially he would play with them but hopefully can get a sniff at the first team. Either way, isn't he out until March?

Had his leg off apparently.
Back in April.

They've got no strikers, so when he's fit he shouldn't take too long to get into the team. They've just got rid of Roque and they've been playing Amrabaat up front from most of what I've seen(who's really a winger). I think they only have Javi Guerra who's actually a striker and he's not up to much.pudge said:

He's supposed to be out until mid March so he'd never have figured in the first team this season. Let him get his fitness back and then see what he's made of next season.pudge said:

Eh? Surely a typo from BBC Sport?

So he's not going on loan to Malaga, he's staying here. Chris Bailey is a pretty authoritative source.

Considering he is out for another 6 weeks (supposedly) it's no real surprise, why would anyone pay a loan fee/wages just to rehabilitate him for us?George Hannah said:

According to s10 Nigeria he is staying.
Manchester City are not prepared to send out Nigeria Under 20 international Kelechi Iheanacho on loan to another club before the close of the winter transfer market.
Only yesterday, there had been speculations in the foreign press that the Golden Ball winner at the 2013 Fifa Under 17s had agreed to join Malaga on a short-term deal until the end of this season.
But The Citizens rented an apartment for Kelechi Iheanacho last week, which is a handwriting on the wall that the highly rated starlet will remain in England beyond this month.
''Manchester City have rented an apartment for Kelechi where he will live. There's no way he's leaving Man City in the January transfer window,'' a source close to Kelechi Iheanacho told SL10.ng.
''They did that to make sure he's settled by the time he comes back from injury. They are positive he'll get a work permit, but it might actually take time.
''If Manchester City were not optimistic of Kelechi getting the work permit, they wouldn't have bothered renting the apartment.''
The Taye Academy pupil impressed manager Manuel Pellegrini during Manchester City's tour of the United States last summer, scoring in games against Sporting Kansas City and AC Milan.
Meanwhile, ex Golden Eaglet teammate Chidiebere Nwakali has joined Malaga on loan until the summer of 2017.
