By , Staff Reporter
Manchester City drop Stevan Jovetic from their Champions League squad and replace him with Wilfried Bony.

UEFA has confirmed that Manchester City have dropped Stevan Jovetic from their Champions League squad for the knockout rounds of the competition.

The 25-year-old and Edin Dzeko were tipped to possibly miss out following the club's signing of Wilfried Bony from Swansea City.

The North-West outfit needed to omit one of their foreign players and it has now been announced that Jovetic, who has started just 18 games in 19 months, has made way.

Jovetic will be replaced by the Ivorian, who is yet to play a game for the Premier League champions due to his Africa Cup of Nations commitment.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid, who are the Champions League holders, have opted to include 16-year-old Martin Odegaard in their squad for the knockout rounds.
