England pair in doubt for City

England duo Joleon Lescott and Micah Richards are Roberto Mancini’s main doubts ahead of Manchester City’s trip to Fulham on Sunday.

Lescott is struggling with a foot injury, while Micah Richards has a rib problem following the midweek encounter with France.

After successive goalless draws, City are hoping to get back to winning ways at Craven Cottage, although former manager Mark Hughes will no doubt have his team fired up for their first meeting with his old club. Mario Balotelli is still suspended.

Team (from): Hart, Richards, Zabaleta, Bridge, Lescott, Boyata, De Jong, Vieira, Barry, A Johnson, K Toure, Y Toure, Tevez, Silva, Adebayor, Kolarov, Given, Milner, Kompany, Boateng.
