Robinho ready to return for City

Brazilian striker Robinho is on the cusp of a return to action, according to boss Mark Hughes. The Man City forward is being earmarked as returning for a Carling Cup match.

Mark Hughes revealed: "Robi is not far away, he's probably got about 10 days and then he can return to the group.

"He's working every day and is on track but you cannot come back early when it is a bone injury."
