Impact Nico could be heading to the sidelines for a spell just after making his debut with City, as the midfielder suffered an injury in Saturday's FA Cup bout. He is now a late call for Tuesday's UCL match, having a few days to recover and his fitness likely coming down to a late test. Even if he is an option, he will probably be on the bench, not starting after an injury and in such a crucial game after just joining the club.

He joins with a solid career thus far to back him up, first rising through the ranks of Barcelona's youth academy, before stints with Barcelona's first team, Valencia and Porto. He does have experience in UCL and UEL competition, with seven goals and six assists to his name in 29 appearances this season.

Impact Nico had a decent season in midfield on loan at Valencia this past season, as he recorded two goal contributions and kept one clean sheet. He also set career highs in interceptions, clearances and blocked shots. His loan is set to end June 30, so the 21-year-old will likely go back to Barcelona unless he is loaned to Valencia (or elsewhere) for another season.

Can't play against parent club Nico will miss Saturday's match against Barcelona due to a clause in his loan, according to El Desmarque.

Impact Nico debuted for Los Che after joining the club on loan from Barcelona and didn't take long to get involved.

Loaned to Valencia Nico has joined Valencia on a season-long loan from Barcelona, the club announced Saturday.

Impact Nico tallied two goals and an assist in 27 La Liga appearances (12 starts) in his debut season with Barcelona's senior team, and the 20-year-old is now moving to Valencia for the upcoming campaign in order to continue his development. He already featured off the bench in Sunday's season-opening win, and he should see consistent playing time as he competes with the likes of Carlos Soler, Uros Racic and Yunus Musah for the starting midfield spots.

Given some of the other roster issues for the club, he'll look for an opportunity elsewhere after doing well in his first pro season, during which he scored twice and logged one assist in 27 appearances (21 starts) during the 2020/21 campaign.
