He can't play today for them though so back down the tunnel he goes.

Sterling to be 'very successful' at Citypublished at 19:53
Image source, Getty ImagesTonight's debutant Raheem Sterling doesn't deserve criticism for his £49m summer move from Liverpool to Manchester City, according to his new boss Manuel Pellegrini.
"He has settled in very well. He wants to come here, he wants to have new challenges. I don't think he deserves criticism about that," the Chilean said.
"He is working very well and it is easy for good players to settle in a good team. I think we are going to have a very successful player this year."

Pellegrini a Kompany manpublished at 19:50
Image source, Getty ImagesVincent Kompany has been Manchester City's most solid player since signing in August 2008, right at the start of the Abu Dhabi regime.
However last season he was far from his best, making several high-profile mistakes, as City lost their title.
But Manuel Pellegrini is backing the Belgian, who starts tonight, to recover.
"I trust a lot in Vincent," he said. "It is always important to analyse why we concede 38 goals and more than 35 per cent were from set-pieces.
"I don't think defending comes from just one player - it comes from the team. I am sure we will see the player we saw playing so well two years ago."

Image source, .Pellegrini deal comes as surprisepublished at 19:46
Image source, ReutersIn a summer where Newcastle have actually started spending decent money, Leicester appointed Claudio Ranieri and Hull received £15m for James Chester and Robbie Brady in 24 hours - it says a lot that one of the more surprising stories of the summer saw Manuel Pellegrini sign a new two-year deal as Manchester City boss.
There has been a lot of chat that City will appoint Pep Guardiola next summer, which is when Pellegrini's old contract was set to expire.
"I am not talking about Pep Guardiola, he is a manager that every team will want to manage because he is a great manager," said Pellegrini.
"I was used last season to the speculation. Carlo Ancelotti had a contract signed and Jurgen Klopp had also a contract.
"For me, the owners are happy with the way I am working. I am also happy at this club. It is impossible to know about the future."

Berahino can 'learn' from Lambertpublished at 19:42
Image source, Getty ImagesWest Brom boss Tony Pulis believes the signing of Rickie Lambert can help improve striker Saido Berahino.
The 22-year-old - a reported Tottenham target - scored 20 goals last season, and will now be partnered by England and ex-Liverpool striker Lambert.
"Last year we relied a lot on Saido's goals. Rickie is a senior player and good character as well. I think Saido will learn a lot off him," Pulis said.
"I believe another year playing regular football at West Bromwich Albion will make Saido a better player."
