Kelechi doesn't need registering in the PL squad but I'm not sure about the CL squad because it's not clear what date he officially became a City player.

Reported that he travelled to England in December 2012 to discuss a move to Manchester City. He signed a pre-contract agreement with the club, stating his intent to formally sign for Manchester City on his 18th birthday in October 2014.
He joined the City Academy on 10 January 2014 but delays in obtaining a work permit meant Iheanacho was unable to play in England until February 2015. Although not formally a Manchester City player, he joined the squad on the 2014-15 pre-season tour of the USA where he made his debut for City.
Make what you will of this but it seems that Kelechis eligibility as a home grown player is a matter between City and the Football authorities. There appears to have been a long standing commitment but a lack of facts in the public domain regarding Kelechis contract means we can only speculate. It would be interesting to hear from someone familiar with eligibility rules as to how they might interpret the rules.

I'd have thought the work permit issue was considered a non-footballing matter (he would have been allowed to train in England prior to that date without a work permit) when it comes to eligibility. Therefore, it would be one of the dates prior to the Feb '15 one. Either Jan '14 or Oct '14.
