The injured midfielder Rodri was included in the Champions League Update team.
The international influence of Spain has not presented for City since he suffered an injury to the previous cross ligament in September and should not play again this season.
The men of Pep Guardiola struggled with the absence of 28 years, going fifth in the Premier League table and ensuring only the progress towards the shooting of the Champions League in their last match of the phase of The League.
But the champions could potentially receive a huge boost with the return of the Golden Ball winner 2024 before the end of the campaign after being appointed to their European team for the rest of the season.
City faces Real Madrid during the first in their two -legged dam match next week and although it seems unlikely that the midfielder will appear in this equality, he could well be available if he reached the last stages.
