Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany could be available for the champions’ Barclays Premier League clash with Burnley at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
The defender has missed the last two games with calf and hamstring problems.
Striker Stevan Jovetic could feature after being an unused substitute at West Brom on Friday, but fellow forwards Edin Dzeko (calf) and Sergio Aguero (knee) are still out.
Provisional squad: Hart, Caballero, Sagna, Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Mangala, Boyata, Clichy, Kolarov, Nasri, Silva, Navas, Milner, Toure, Fernando, Fernandinho, Lampard, Jovetic, Pozo.
