Man City hopeful on key trio Silva, Kompany, Jovetic

Manchester City could be boosted by the presence of three of their more important players on Wednesday night.

Playmaker David Silva, captain Vincent Kompany and striker Stevan Jovetic are all in doubt for the vital Champions League meeting with AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico but all three trained on Tuesday and could be a chance of getting up for the must-win encounter.

Manager Manuel Pellegrini said: "All of them could be ready. There is some doubt about one of them but we will see tomorrow."

Silva has been sidelined since October with a knee injury, Kompany has missed the past two matches with a hamstring problem while Jovetic was rested for the weekend's clash with Everton because of a hamstring complaint.
