Richards boost for Mancini

[sergiokun]

Micah Richards is almost ready to return to action with Manchester City.

The defender has not played since injuring his ankle playing for Team GB against South Korea during the Olympic Games.

But Richards will take part in first-team training next week, giving manager Roberto Mancini a lift going into the international break.

If there is no adverse reaction, Richards could be in line for a recall against West Bromwich Albion when the Premier League resumes on October 20.

Richards, 24, will have a fight on his hands to regain his right-back slot, with Pablo Zabaleta and Maicon vying for the position. Mancini could also play the England man at centre back

I hope Richards gets fit and back to his best, Playing for England or team GB is not good for him or our club. he is injury prone so its best he stays at city.
I think Micah will get back into the team no problem and let pablo get LB because Clichey looks poor this season

Micah will make a big difference to us when he returns

I agree can't wait for him to get back on the pitch

Good news. When is Maicon back?

 

[MATCITY]

Good stuff

Many threads have been started "what if Milner/Barry/De Jong/Johnson/Lescott had been playing"

I think MR deserves one too I think he will be really important if he comes back and hits top form

Was amazing today he is a credit to Manchester city. Could of scored a few today but was class

 

[ancoats]

could be great news for man city and england if Richards plays like that in the center
look like he was playing his 300 game at centerback today PURE CLASS

Micah selection was a surprise today and he was excellent, his performance was outstanding and the guy's just immense in certain situations (I've been a critic of him in the past) Good to see him back.

Maybe we can afford to push Vinnie into the Yaya role when he disappears for the ACON
