No new worries for Hughes

Mark Hughes reported no new injury concerns after Manchester City’s UEFA Cup qualifier against FC Midtjylland as he quickly turns his attention to Sunday’s trip to Sunderland.

Hughes’ men had to endure extra-time and penalties in Denmark to secure a place in the UEFA Cup first round last night.

Micah Richards came through the match without any problems having suffered concussion against West Ham last week, while Hughes will be able to recall Vincent Kompany, who was ineligible for the European qualifier, for the trip to Wearside.

Benjani Mwaruwari and Kelvin Etuhu did not travel to Denmark while Valeri Bojinov and Darius Vassell are long-term casualties.

Provisional squad: Hart, Schmeichel, Corluka, Richards, Kompany, Dunne, Onuoha, Ben Haim, Ball, Garrido, Fernandes, Hamann, Ireland, Johnson, Elano, Evans, Sturridge, Caicedo, Jo.
