City trio set to return

MANCHESTER City hope to have Robinho, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Micah Richards back for tomorrow lunchtime’s Premier League match at Fulham.

The injured threesome all missed Wednesday’s UEFA Cup tie against Paris St Germain, at Eastlands.

Manager Mark Hughes says they are all showing improvement and he remains optimistic they will be ready for the game at Craven Cottage.

n SIR Alex Ferguson, meanwhile, has a selection dilemma as Manchester United tomorrow prepare to play hosts to managerless Sunderland.

Carlos Tevez staked a strong claim for a starting spot after scoring four goals for the Reds against Blackburn Rovers in their 5-3 midweek victory in the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup.

But to accommodate Tevez, Ferguson would probably have to leave out either Dimitar Berbatov or Wayne Rooney.

Cristiano Ronaldo is available after missing the midweek match through suspension while Paul Scholes returned against Blackburn after a lengthy injury lay-off.
