Man City boss Hughes happy to have Benjani available

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes admits he's delighted to have Benjani Mwaruwari available for tonight's UEFA Cup tie with FC Twente.

He said: "I like his attitude. He comes into training with a smile on his face and I have been impressed with his work-rate.

"It is frustrating he has not been able to make an impact for us but touch wood we hope he is back now.

"He scored a goal in his comeback in the reserves, which will help him. We are really pleased he is back."
