Clichy back in City squad

Manchester City left-back Gael Clichy is available for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League clash against Stoke after serving a one-game suspension.

Striker Edin Dzeko is expected to be fit to feature at the Etihad Stadium despite suffering a knock in training but Aleksandar Kolarov (groin) is still out.

Manager Roberto Mancini has said he could make three or four changes so the likes of Joleon Lescott, Nigel de Jong and James Milner may return.

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