Bianchi misses Boro clash

Manchester City striker Rolando Bianchi is not fit to return for Sunday’s Barclays Premier League clash with Middlesbrough.

The £8.8m Italian summer signing missed last weekend’s win over Newcastle and is still unable to take a full part in training.

He will sit out the Boro visit along with two other strikers in Darius Vassell and Valeri Bojinov.

Manager Sven-Goran Eriksson admits he is unsure who his best goalkeeper is but Joe Hart looks set to continue ahead of Kasper Schmeichel.

Man City (from): Hart, Schmeichel, Corluka, Onuoha, Sun, Dunne, Richards, Garrido, Ball, Geovanni, Dabo, Fernandes, Hamann, Johnson, Ireland, Petrov, Elano, Samaras, Mpenza, Etuhu.
