Milner out for City

Manchester City midfielder James Milner has been ruled out of Sunday’s Barclays Premier League trip to Fulham.

Milner missed the midweek Champions League game against Napoli after a clash of heads in last week’s defeat of Wigan.

Midfielder Nigel de Jong (foot) remains 10 days to two weeks away from fitness while full-back Aleksandar Kolarov is not hindered by a broken nose.

Provisional squad: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, Richards, Clichy, K Toure, Savic, Nasri, Barry, Y Toure, Silva, Johnson, Dzeko, Balotelli, Tevez, Aguero, Razak, Pantilimon.
