Joao Cancelo 'to start on the BENCH' against Paris Saint-Germain with Julian Nagelsmann preferring a back-three at present - leaving the Portuguese 'frustrated' having left Manchester City in search of minutes

Joao Cancelo will reportedly start Wednesday night's clash against Paris Saint-Germain on the bench with Julian Nagelsmann opting for a back three.

The Portuguese joined the German champions at the end of the January transfer window, initially on loan with an option to buy for £70m, partly in search for minutes after falling out of favour at Manchester City.

Despite taking to life in Germany almost immediately, recording an assist on his first appearance, Cancelo is now reportedly experiencing some difficulties.

Over the weekend, he was an unused substitute against Stuttgart as Bayern Munich won 2-1.
