Barton back for City

Manchester City midfielder Joey Barton is available after suspension for the Barclays Premiership match against Bolton at the Reebok Stadium tomorrow.

Barton’s return is a boost for manager Stuart Pearce as Hatem Trabelsi is struggling with a hamstring problem.

Paul Dickov (toe), Dietmar Hamann (back) and Danny Mills (foot) remain sidelined.

Provisional squad: Weaver, Onuoha, Sun Jihai, Distin, Dunne, Jordan, Miller, Richards, Sinclair, Dabo, Barton, Ireland, Trabelsi, Beasley, Vassell, Corradi, Samaras, Isaksson.
