James Milner will return after a hamstring injury as Manchester City try to overturn a two-goal deficit in their Europa League last 16 tie with Dynamo Kiev at Eastlands.

The best that England midfielder Milner can hope for is a place on the substitutes’ bench after making just four appearances since the end of January.

Nigel de Jong (ankle) faces a fitness test, while Adam Johnson will not be risked despite returning to training after an ankle injury that has ruled him out for seven weeks.

Team (from): Hart, Taylor, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Boateng, Boyata, Kolarov, Zabaleta, Wright-Phillips, Barry, De Jong, Vieira, Milner, Y Toure, M Johnson, Silva, Dzeko, Tevez, Balotelli, Jo.
