The Montenegrin striker was widely expected to make way for Bony in the 25-man list that was submitted to #Uefa on Tuesday having played a bit-part role at the club so far this season. His absence will now increase speculation that the £22m signing from #Fiorentina in 2013 could leave the club in the summer.
Jovetic was the only change to City’s original squad submitted before the group stages, with Manuel Pellegrini’s side set to face #Barcelona in the first leg of their last-16 tie at the #Etihad Stadium on 24 February.
Chelsea #CFC added Juan Cuadrado, who joined for £27m on deadline day, and the promising youth team player Isaiah Brown to replace the departing André #Schürrle, Mohamed #Salah and Lewis Baker. #RealMadrid new teenage signings Martin #Odegaard and Lucas Silva were included in the reigning champions’ squad, while Fernando Torres made the cut for Atlético Madrid after joining from #Milan on loan.
