More positive news came from the club yesterday with hints that the injury crisis may be about to ease.

Following the earlie news that Tom Trybull was back in trainging, three more of City's senior outfield players and the club's first choice goalkeeper have all returned to training ahead of this weekend's match, although that may yet prove to be a bit too soon for some of them

Whilst you would imagine that Vrancic and Hernandez won’t be ready to start a game yet, Alex Tettey and Tim Krul could very well come back into the side at Bournemouth on Saturday to give the team a much needed boost ahead of their next run of games.
