Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini admits John Guidetti could leave in January.
Mancini is happy to loan the young striker out for the second-half of the season.
"He's started training with us on the field, but he still has thirty or forty days to completely get in shape," said Mancini "Only then will we make a decision on him.
"Perhaps he will be loaned, as he must, of course, play to progress."
