Man City boss Mancini: Team Bridge protest now over

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini says there'll be no repeat of the 'Team Bridge' shirts for their clash with Hull.

Mancini insists there will be no repeat of the "Team Bridge" shirt show of solidarity modelled by Stephen Ireland, Nigel de Jong and Carlos Tevez in the win over Portsmouth.

For Bridge's sake - and City's - Mancini wants the emphasis purely on beating Hull.

"They used the shirts after the Portsmouth game and now it's finished," he said.

"It is important we think about other things.

"I spoke with Wayne two days ago, three days ago and yesterday. He wants to play on Saturday and I think he can."
