Richards back in training for City

Manchester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson is debating whether to bring back Micah Richards for the Premier match at Derby tomorrow.

The England defender resumed training today after a knee problem forced him to miss the FA Cup defeat by Sheffield United.

Eriksson may decide to freshen things up but Michael Johnson remains sidelined with an abdominal strain.

Provisional squad: Hart, Onuoha, Dunne, Richards, Corluka, Ball, Hamann, Fernandes, Petrov, Vassell, Elano, Mpenza, Ireland, Sturridge, Geovanni, Schmeichel, Garrido, Jihai, Etuhu.
