Vitor Reis cannot play in the Champions League knockout rounds as Man City confirmed their squad. Manchester City have omitted their £29m signing Vitor Reis from their Champions League squad for the knockout phase. The Brazilian defender, who was bought from Palmeiras in January, will not be eligible to face Real Madrid in the play-off round or, if City progress, in any future European matches this season.

City chose to register fellow new recruits Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez and Abdukodir Khusanov instead in the list they gave to Uefa. It also includes the injured Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, though the Spaniard could miss the rest of the season as he recovers from a cruciate ligament injury. Clubs were able to add up to three players to their European squads for the second half of the season but City had made four signings at an initial cost of over £170m.
