Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports Reis' exclusion has nothing to do with the long-term plans for the 19 year-old.

City management feel Reis needs time to adapt to European football, while their other three winter signings have plenty of experience playing in Europe - Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov  and Nico Gonzalez.

Reis was a senior player with Palmeiras, making 22 appearances for the first team before his departure.
