Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has returned to training following a knee injury but faces a late fitness test to determine whether he can face his former club Manchester United on Sunday at Old Trafford.

The addition of Tevez would be a boost for manager Mark Hughes as Emmanuel Adebayor starts a three-match suspension.

Robinho and Roque Santa Cruz remain sidelined through injury and Craig Bellamy is likely to start as the lone striker.

Team (from): Given, Taylor, Richards, Zabaleta, Toure, Lescott, Ohuoha, Bridge, De Jong, Barry, Wright-Phillips, Weiss, Ireland, Bellamy, Tevez, Petrov, Tripper, Sylvinho, Vidal.
