Irish teenager Gavin Bazunu added to Manchester City's Champions League squad

Ireland Under-21 goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu has been added to Manchester City's squad for the rest of the revamped Champions League.

The 18-year-old comes in to Pep Guardiola's side as the third choice, with Claudio Bravo currently injured and set to leave the club this summer.

The Dubliner has featured with the club's U23 squad and has starred in the UEFA Youth League since joining from Shamrock Rovers in 2019.

Bazunu replaces Leroy Sane, who has joined Bayern Munich, in the squad and could follow in the footsteps of fellow Ireland U21 netminder Caoimhin Kelleher.

Kelleher claimed a Champions League medal with Liverpool last year, appearing on the extended twelve-man bench in the final.

The Citizens host Real Madrid in the second leg of their Last 16 tie, and are in the driving seat with a 2-1 aggregate advantage.
