Dzeko injury doubt for City

Edin Dzeko is Manchester City’s main injury concern ahead of the December 26 trip to West Brom.

The Bosnian striker was forced to miss the midweek win over Stoke after suffering an ankle knock in training.

Manager Roberto Mancini does not believe the damage is too extensive though and also thinks defender Micah Richards will shake off the calf injury he suffered during a clash with Stoke midfielder Dean Whitehead on Wednesday.

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