Yaya Toure left off Manchester City's Champions League roster
Manchester City announced its roster for the 2016-17 UEFA Champions League on Friday, and while a number of stars made the cut, veteran midfielder Yaya Toure, as expected, did not.
The Ivory Coast international was the sole name in Pep Guardiola's 22-player senior roster left off the squad, as City prepares to take on Barcelona, Borussia Monchengladbach, and Celtic in Group C.
Toure's exclusion doesn't come as much of a surprise, however, since he was also left off the team that took on Steaua Bucharest in the Champions League play-off tie first leg, but did play in the second leg.
The club is also limited to 17 overseas players, leaving Toure as the odd man out.
Guardiola's 21-man team is below:
Goalkeepers
Claudio Bravo, Willy Caballero
Defenders
Bacary Sagna, Vincent Kompany, Pablo Zabaleta, Aleksandar Kolarov, Gael Clichy, John Stones, Nicolas Otamendi
Midfielders
Fernando, Raheem Sterling, Ilkay Gundogan, Jesus Navas, Kevin De Bruyne, Fabian Delph, Leroy Sane, David Silva, Fernandinho
Forwards
Nolito, Sergio Aguero, Kelechi Iheanacho
