Manchester City defender Marc Guehi is ineligible to play in Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Newcastle United.

City signed the 25-year-old centre-back from Crystal Palace after the first leg victory over the Magpies, but players have to be registered beforehand in order to be able to take part in the last-four tie.

Should City progress, the England international would also be ineligible for the final at Wembley on Sunday, 22 March.

Antoine Semenyo joined City from Bournemouth in January but was signed in time for the first leg, scoring in the 2-0 victory at St James' Park.
