Barry left out of Sporting Lisbon clash over back injury fears

The England international has had concerns over the injury and it seems as though Roberto Mancini has decided to rest the experienced midfielder as a precaution. With City battling to overcome a 1-0 deficit after the defeat in Portugal, Mancini will hope his players stand up and be counted after this fresh new injury blow. Barry joins captain Vincent Kompany on the side-lines, alongside defenders Pablo Zabaleta and Joleon Lescott who have both been declared doubtful for the tie. Mancini will look to pick a strong side from his available squad in order to beat Lisbon and advance to the quarter-finals. Manchester City squad: Hart, Pantilimon, Richards, Lescott, Savic, K Toure, Clichy, Kolarov, Milner, Pizarro, Johnson, Nasri, Silva, De Jong, Y Toure, Dzeko, Aguero, Balotelli.
