Balotelli back for City

Striker Mario Balotelli is fit to play in tomorrow night’s Europa League last-32 second leg against Aris Salonika at Eastlands despite suffering a clash of heads in the game at the weekend.

Shaun Wright-Phillips is also in contention again having been sidelined with a back problem.

Micah Richards has picked up what appears to be a calf injury, though, and will not feature.

James Milner (hamstring), Nigel de Jong and Adam Johnson (both ankle) remain in the treatment room.

Goalkeeper Shay Given could be out of action for three months with a shoulder injury ahead

Provisional squad: Hart, Taylor, Zabaleta, Boateng, K Toure, Kompany, Kolarov, Lescott, Wright-Phillips, Vieira, Y Toure, Silva, Barry, Tevez, Dzeko, Balotelli, Jo, Boyata.
