Sibierski set to return against Chelski

Antoine Sibierski returns to the Manchester City squad for Sunday’s trip to Premiership leaders Chelsea.

The French midfielder has recovered from the flu virus which kept him out of the midweek draw with Newcastle, but may have to be content with a place on the bench.

Manager Kevin Keegan is expected to name an unchanged side as City look to complete an unlikely league double over Jose Mourinho’s men.

Provisional squad: James, Weaver, Mills, Onuoha, Dunne, Distin, Thatcher, Jordan, S Wright-Phillips, Flood, Bosvelt, Barton, McManaman, Musampa, Sibierski, Fowler, Macken, B Wright-Phillips.
