Corradi absent for City

Bernardo Corradi misses Manchester City’s clash with Portsmouth tomorrow through suspension.

The Italian striker was sent off on his debut at Chelsea on Sunday, so Blues boss Stuart Pearce must choose between Darius Vassell and Paul Dickov for the vacant attacking berth.

Recent signings Andreas Isaksson (ankle) and Dietmar Hamann (foot) have an outside chance of being fit but Andy Cole (knee) definitely misses out.

Team (from): Isaksson, Weaver, Hart, Richards, Onuoha, Dunne, Distin, D Mills, Thatcher, Jordan, Sinclair, Hamann, Barton, Dabo, Reyna, Ireland, Sibierski, Vassell, Samaras, Dickov, Sturridge.
