Manchester City have named the on-loan Frank Lampard in their 21-man Champions League squad.
City are permitted only 21 names in the A squad rather than the usual 25 as a sanction for breaching Uefa’s financial fair play regulations.
The restrictions also limit City to 16 non-homegrown players, but the departure of Álvaro Negredo to Valencia on Monday spared their manager Manuel Pellegrini a difficult decision.
The Serbian defender Matija Nastasic, strongly linked with a move away prior to Monday’s transfer deadline, is not included in the A squad but will still be able to play matches as he was under 21 at the turn of the year and can be part of the B squad.

City’s A squad

Hart, Caballero, Sagna, Kompany, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Mangala, Clichy, Demichelis, Boyata, Fernando, Milner, Nasri, Navas, Lampard, Silva, Fernandinho, Touré, Dzeko, Agüero, Jovetic.
