Guardiola should give these 3 Man City players a chance against Monchengladbach

Fernando

Despite Yaya Toure’s excellent display against Crystal Palace on Saturday, he is not in City’s 21-man Champions League squad, and so won’t be making the trip to Monchengladbach on Wednesday.

His absence could open the door for Fernando to get a rare start, with the Brazilian looking to build on his 12 appearances for the club this season.

The 29-year-old is not first choice ahead of Fernandinho in the defensive midfield role but, as above with Iheanacho, Guardiola may need to rely on him later in the season, so seeing if he is up to speed and ready to start could be invaluable for the City boss.
