The Citizens have announced via their official webpage that Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho, 19, and England youth-teamer of Nigerian descent Tosin Adarabioyo, 18, are in the traveling party to Scandinavia.
Both teenagers have been involved in City’s two fixtures in pre-season, against Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, with Adarabioyo going the distance in both matches.
