Bazza Injured

[Andouble]

De Jong out for two more weeks now too, if Barry is injured for tomorrow and Wednesday too, we only really have one holding player fit for Wigan and Napoli (Yaya). Milner likely to start one or both games, Razak on bench?

mancini says de jong is ready. personally i think he holds us back, (too defensive) but he's fit to play

watching his press conference NDJ is no where near ready. He said he's been out 25 days and 'hopes' he'll be ready in 2 weeks.

We should be aiming to get him fit for Bayern away because he'd be vital for that match.

injury to the bottom of his foot or something.

Mancini said on sky press conference that De jong and Richards were fit. He also said Nasri was OK since "eez not a goalkeeper."
He said he would see how Barry is tomorrow but reading between the lines his ankle is likely to keep him out. :-(

I think you are thinking Hargreaves may be fit in 2 weeks?

New signing Nasri broke a bone in his hand playing for France this week but he is set to remain in City's starting line-up after an impressive debut in the 5-1 win at Tottenham last time out.

And, although Mancini revealed that Gareth Barry (ankle) is doubtful, Nigel de Jong (foot) is back in contention after two games out while Micah Richards (hamstring) should be fit despite returning from international duty with England.

"For Nasri, it's not a problem because he's not a keeper," Mancini told Sky Sports News.

"Gareth has a little problem. I want to see tomorrow but it's difficult. Nigel can play and Micah is okay."

Dan Taylor said 2 weeks for De Jong too, is this another classic Mancini translation problem or what? Quotes needed!

He says "Nigel can play"
It may be he is trying to make the preparation for Wigan and Martinez more difficult with his tactics and team selection? "eez natural...no?"

Nigel hasn't been training (as per today and yesterday's training reports) so he's still carrying the injury that held him out before the int'l break. He's gonna be out for a while.
