Man City boss Hughes: Robinho will be fit for derby

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes expects Robinho to be fit for next week's derby against Manchester United.

Robinho turned his ankle during yesterday's victory over Arsenal, but Hughes said: "He has just gone over on his ankle. It's one that is initially very sore, it should settle down quickly and we do not anticipate that there will be any long-term damage. We hope he will be OK, if not for Thursday then certainly for the derby."
