Man City boss Hughes admits they need Wright-Phillips return

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes admits they lean heavily on Shaun Wright-Phillips.

After missing their defeat to Portsmouth, SWP is back for City's UEFA Cup clash with FC Copenhagen and Hughes said: "We lacked the ability to drive past people with pace and get behind them.

"It was a struggle but Shaun will help in that respect - he takes people on in good areas and things happen when you do that."
