It has been confirmed that City target Daniel Agger will only serve a one match ban for a ‘professional foul’ against West Brom forward Shane Long for which he was sent off yesterday.
The Liverpool defender, who has admitted that he would be open to a move to Barcelona in the last few days, will ironically serve his suspension in the game against City at Anfield next Sunday.
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has made so secret of his frustration at the relative lack of signings this summer prior to the start of the season.
Only Jack Rodwell has been signed so far while City missed out on Robin Van Persie and maintain an interest in Agger.
