Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri is set to return into action in the Capital One Cup clash with Newcastle United.
The former France international has missed last four weeks through a groin problem, but he was named into the squad to face the Magpies having successfully overcome his injury.
Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini moved to confirm Nasri was “working normally” and is back in contention for starting places.
Meanwhile, Frank Lampard is out with a thigh injury and is rated doubtful for the weekend’s Premier League clash against Manchester United.
Manchester City seem to have suffered a serious dip in form of late, having suffered back to back setbacks against CSKA Moscow and West Ham United.
This means they will be very motivated to make things right against Newcastle, with home win paying 1.33 (1/3) at Paddy Power.
