Johnson nears comeback

Sven-Goran Eriksson has admitted that Man City's young midfielder Michael Johnson is on the verge of a comeback for the Citizens. Johnson has just begun training again to bring the Swede a timely boost.

"Michael has started running outside again, so hopefully, he will be ready in a couple of weeks," said Eriksson.

"Of course, it was a concern because he was operated on and then three games later, the injury came back."

The Swede added: "The situation looks better than it did one or two weeks ago but we expect him to be fine soon."
