Manchester City are nearing a full squad again as another defender returned to training ahead of the Premier League trip to Southampton.
After seven players missed the recent FA Cup trip to Swindon with a mixture of Covid and injury reasons, and more players missed the subsequent clash with Chelsea, City are now welcoming back players as they look to consolidate their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Youngster Liam Delap made a welcome return to training this week after an injury-hit first half of the season has restricted him to just four outings for the academy, while Nathan Ake is the latest player to be back on the training field after the in-form Dutchman wasn't fit enough to face Chelsea.
