Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini insists he can work with Craig Bellamy.

Mancini has denied a bust-up with Wales international Bellamy this week.

The former Inter Milan coach said: "I have worked with players who won the Champions League and the World Cup.

"They had the right attitude and that is very important. So I have no problem with Craig.

"He is an important player for us. I have respect for him and all my squad."
