Thegoalmac can reveal that Samir Nasri has recovered from a groin injury to face Newcastle United ahead of Manchester City's derby clash with Manchester United, manager Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed.
Good news for Man City,hopefully Nasri will help them stabilise their already struggling team.Continue for what Mr Pellegrini said.
"[Samir] Nasri is working normally and is in the squad list for tomorrow," Pellegrini told reporters.
"[Frank]
Lampard is out, all the other players in the squad are fit. I don’t
think Frank will be fit for the weekend but maybe he can be fit for next
week."
The news will come as a huge boost ahead of Sunday's
visit of rivals Man Utd, while Wayne Rooney and Radamel Falcao are also
expected to return after overcoming niggling fitness concerns.
Despite
stressing the importance of succeeding in the League Cup, Pellegrini
conceded he was likely to rotate his squad for the visit of Newcastle,
who lost 2-0 to City in their opening match of the season.
"It is
very important for the club to win trophies," he added. "That is why it
doesn't matter in which competition we are playing, we are trying to
win all four competitions in the same way.
"I transmit the
mentality to the players that every game you play is one you must try to
win. If you ask me if I prefer to win the Premier League, maybe, but
that doesn’t mean that you don’t want to win the Capital One Cup which
is why we are involving the whole squad in this game.
"It is very
important when you play so many games to have the whole squad ready to
play, so we will probably make some changes."
