Zabaleta has a future at the club, despite making just seven
appearances this season.
The right-back has 18 months remaining on his current
contract but has seen his campaign hampered by knee
injuries..
Bacary Sagna has made the full-back position his own in the
Argentine’s absence, but Pellegrini insists Zabaleta remains
an integral part of City’s squad.
"I think Pablo has been a very important player for this team
and he continues now being a very important player," said
the 62-year-old. "And I’m sure that in the future he will
continue to be."
The Chilean added: "Pablo had a very difficult season
because two ligament injuries in his right knee.
"So it was not easy for him to recover his best performance.
"But he’s started playing some games, he did very well the
other day against Crystal Palace and he’s one of the players
I trust a lot.
"Also Bacary is having a very good season so in that
position I don’t have any problems."
