Wright-Phillips back for Blues

Shaun Wright-Phillips returns to the Manchester City squad for the first time in seven weeks for the Blues trip to Fulham.

Shaun Wright-Phillips returns to the Manchester City squad for the first time in seven weeks for the Blues trip to Fulham.

The England winger is fully recovered from his knee operation, although his lack of match practice may see him consigned to a place on the bench as Stuart Pearce is expected to stick with the side which beat Liverpool last weekend.

Ben Thatcher (hamstring) and Steve McManaman (calf) also return after recent injury problems but Jon Macken (hamstring) is a doubt and keeper Geert de Vliegers (foot) is out for the season.

Squad: James, Weaver, Mills, Onouha, Dunne, Distin, Sommeil, Jordan, Thatcher, Croft, Bosvelt, S Wright-Phillips, McManaman, Reyna, Flood, Barton, Sibierski, Musampa, Fowler, Macken, B Wright-Phillips.
