Johnson a doubt for City

Manchester City midfielder Michael Johnson is doubtful for the Premier League match against Portsmouth on Sunday because of a groin injury.

Johnson was again absent last night as City defeated Omonia Nicosia 2-1 in a UEFA Cup first round first leg game.

Manager Mark Hughes could shuffle his pack but Martin Petrov remains sidelined with a groin problem.

Provisional squad: Hart, Zabaleta, Richards, Dunne, Ball, Ben Haim, Johnson, Ireland, Kompany, Wright-Phillips, Robinho, Elano, Jo, Garrido, Schmeichel, Fernandes, Hamann, Evans, Sturridge, Etuhu, Glauber.
