Any idea when he returns from injury?

My question is who do you think Mancini will give preference to this season? I know it's a squad game and rotation will happen but one will be playing more than the other and I really don't know who Mancini will go for. I feel he trusts Zabaleta a lot more at the back but then we also lose Richards' ariel dominance and powerful runs forward.
It's a nice problem to have but I don't think Richards would be too happy playing second fiddle to Zabaleta.
This thread is pretty old just bumped it for an injury update instead of starting a new one.black mamba said:RandomJ said:Now I think we can all agree last season Richards had a blinder and was easily the best English right back and should have gone to the euros etc etc. However I think we can also all agree that Zabaleta also had an amazing season and even managed to take Richards place in the team for the run in.

If he's playing second fiddle to Zab , what fiddle will he be playing to Maicon ?

Physio Room says there's no planned return date for Richards ...
