Fernando is happy to be back in action for Manchester City.
After tweaking his groin against Stoke, the Blues went on to lose the game and effectively win just three of the eight games he missed.
"I'm feeling good and I'm looking forward to contributing to the team again," he told City's website. "I'm not a good spectator. I didn't enjoy sitting out of the games I missed so it was good to get back on the pitch at Aston Villa.
"I knew I'd hurt myself when I had to come off against Stoke. I felt some pain in my groin and it turned out to be a small tear which was quite painful. The international break has given me more time to sharpen up and I will be ready for Tottenham a week on Saturday."
