Bellamy & Ireland out, Robinho in
Craig Bellamy and Steven Ireland moved closer to Manchester City exits after they were excluded from the club's Europa League qualifying squad with Robinho a surprise inclusion, according to reports.
Striker Bellamy said he expected to leave City before the end of the transfer window, while midfielder Ireland has been tipped as a makeweight in the deal to sign James Milner from Aston Villa.
The inclusion of Robinho - who spent last season on loan at Santos - is a surprise, as he has expressed an interest to return to Brazil after failing to settle in the North West of England.
Summer signing David Silva was also left out of the 23-man list for the 19 and 26 August matches against FC Timişoara, although that is thought to be fitness related.
Defender Nedum Onuoha was also absent as he puts the finishing touches to a loan move to Sunderland.
Manchester City squad: Shay Given, Joe Hart, Stuart Taylor; Micah Richards, Jerome Boateng, Pablo Zabaleta, Kolo Toure, Joleon Lescott, Wayne Bridge, Alexander Kolarov; Shaun Wright-Phillips, Adam Johnson, Yaya Toure, Michael Johnson, Gareth Barry, Patrick Vieira, Vincent Kompany, Nigel de Jong; Emmanuel Adebayor, Robinho, Roque Santa Cruz, Carlos Tevez

Gerrard and Torres miss big clash
Liverpool will be without captain Steven Gerrard and striker Fernando Torres for their Europa League play-off second leg against Trabzonspor in Turkey.
Gerrard has a back problem while manager Roy Hodgson has decided not to risk Torres in a third successive game following his injury problems last season.
However, both are expected to be fit for Sunday's Premier League clash with West Bromwich.
Defender Daniel Agger (concussion) and Maxi Rodriguez (illness) are also missing from the squad which travel to Turkey with a 1-0 lead from the first leg.

Boateng set for first City start
Roberto Mancini is debating whether to hand Jerome Boateng his first Manchester City start in Thursday's Europa League tie with Juventus at Eastlands.
Boateng finally made his debut as a late substitute in Saturday's win over Chelsea after an injury-plagued start to life at City.
"Maybe Boateng will get a start", said Mancini.
"He needs to take things very softly because I don't think he is quite ready yet. He needs to work and train."
The 22-year-old £10 million signing from SV Hamburg was due to make a late return for pre-season training anyway after starring in Germany's run to the World Cup semi-finals.
But he aggravated a knee injury in a bizarre collision with an in-flight meals trolley last month, condemning him to a further period of rehabilitation.
Only last week was Boateng able to join the City squad in training and he was far from fully fit on Saturday meaning Mancini preferred to use him off the bench.
However, with Juventus due in Manchester later this week and then Newcastle, the Blues boss is deciding what route to take next.

Besiktas shorn of Quaresma
Besiktas winger Ricardo Quaresma will be out of action for a month after tearing a muscle in his right thigh during Thursday's 2-1 UEFA Europa League win at Gerhard Hanappi Stadium.
The 27-year-old was substituted after 32 minutes of the Vienna victory - the Istanbul team's second straight success in Group L - and is now expected to miss Besiktas' next European outing, at home to former club FC Porto on 21 October.
The injury also deprives Quaresma of the chance to link up with Portugal for the UEFA EURO 2012 qualifiers against Denmark and Iceland. The ex-Porto schemer had returned to the national-team fold after an exile of nearly 2 years for last month's Group H matches against Cyprus and Norway.
Quaresma, signed from Internazionale Milano in the summer, had played in all 8 of the Black Eagles' European games this term, scoring 3 times, in addition to making 5 Turkish Super League appearances.
Atletico shorn of Dominguez
Atletico Madrid defender Alvaro Dominguez will miss his team's UEFA Europa League Group B encounter with Rosenborg on 21 October after damaging ankle ligaments on international duty.
The centre-back opened the scoring but sprained his left ankle in the closing stages of Spain's 3-0 defeat of Croatia in the second leg of their UEFA EURO U21 Championship play-off on Tuesday in Varazdin.
Dominguez returned to the Spanish capital on crutches and underwent tests, with reports suggesting he could be sidelined for 3 weeks.
The 21-year-old would therefore also be doubtful for the return fixture against Rosenborg in Trondheim on 4 November. Atletico have made a slow start to the defence of their UEFA Europa League title, collecting one point from games against Aris and Bayer Leverkusen.
