Manchester City manager Mark Hughes recalled Robinho to the starting line-up for this UEFA Cup quarter-final match against Hamburg.

Hughes was no doubt looking for the Brazilian to end his goal drought as they aimed to overturn a 3-1 deficit in the second leg. He last scored against Blackburn on December 28.

Wayne Bridge and Vincent Kompany returned after hamstring injuries as Hughes made five changes to the side that lost to Fulham on Sunday.
