Manchester City have been given a boost in the form of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/James-Milner-c17706 set to miss out on the next game, the team will have to rethink their tactics.
City’s captain, Kompany went on to return to the first team after recovering from a knee injury.
However, with Kompany returning to the squad, the team was given some bad news, as it was revealed that James Milner had broken a bone in his hand and would have to figure out a way to play with a cast, if he was to make the team.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini has gone on to show confidence in the fact that Kompany will be fit in time to face Aston Villa this coming Sunday and that his return would help the squad perform even better than they already have been.
Despite http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 being confident in Kompany being fit for the upcoming game, the teams medics still feel the player is a doubt for the upcoming game and will have to pass a late medical test, to prove his fitness.
Milner on the other hand will have to wear a cast on his hand if he is going to be playing for City.
The midfielder broke a bone in his hand while facing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043, but at the moment it seems like his injury isn’t causing too much pain.
As a result, it seems like a light weight cast could do the trick for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international, but only if he is comfortable with a cast on his arm, while he is playing.
Nonetheless, even if both the players don’t manage to get fit in time, or have some sort of a problem, City can comfortably play without them.
The team’s midfield is more than capable of playing perfectly well without Milner and at the back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Micah-Richards-c25259 could step in and fill in for Kompany once again.
However, Mancini is hoping for his first team to be up and running once again, as he doesn’t want to take any chances.
City currently possess a mere two point lead at the top and hence they aren’t willing to take any risks.
