Man City to rest Wanchope
Manchester City will rest forward Paulo Wanchope for tomorrow’s UEFA Cup first round clash with Lokeren.
Robbie Fowler will return to the squad, while German full-back Michael Tarnat has a thigh strain and will miss a match in which City look for a handsome first-leg lead against the Belgian minnows.
Young defender Stephen Jordan will be drafted in as cover for Tarnat.
Jon Macken (foot) is also a doubt up front, and midfielder Claudio Reyna will come into contention.
Provisional squad: Seaman, Weaver, Sun, Distin, Sommeil, Dunne, Wiekens, Jordan, Tiatto, Bosvelt, Sibierski, McManaman, Reyna, Wright-Phillips, Barton, Berkovic, Sinclair, Anelka, Fowler.
