Available vs. Lille
Ceballos (not injury related) is an option for Tuesday's Champions League match against Lille, according to manager Manuel Pellegrini. "He's in the list, so that's important. It's not easy to get minutes in the squad, but he's moving in the right direction."
Analysis: Ceballos is likely to see minutes off the bench if he plays at all in the UCL opener on Tuesday. The veteran midfielder will have his work cut out for the time being when it comes to starting, as he joined the team shortly before the transfer deadline. He'll compete with the likes of Pablo Fornals, Nelson Deossa, Facundo Bernal and Marc Roca for playing time.
