Manchester City winger James Poole has returned from his loan.
City coach Andy Welsh confirmed Poole has returned from Hartlepool and could face Rochdale next week in the Senior Cup.
He told City's website: "James his back with us now and is training very hard so he'll be available for selection again as soon we start playing again.
"We'll have a chat with him soon about his thoughts for the New Year and whether he might be interested in gaining some more experience out on loan again."
