No return for Richards

Manchester City defender Micah Richards will sit out the Barclays Premier League match against Portsmouth on Sunday after being pencilled in to return from a knee injury.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart has returned to training after suffering a knock in the victory at Sunderland and is expected to play against the FA Cup finalists.

Daniel Sturridge is doubtful with a knee problem while Nedum Onuoha remains sidelined because of a dislocated shoulder.

Provisional squad: Hart, Corluka, Dunne, Garrido, Jihai, Ireland, Fernandes, Hamann, Petrov, Johnson, Castillo, Elano, Benjani, Vassell, Caicedo, Geovanni, Sturridge, Isaksson.
