Robinho in Man City squad but unlikely to play

Robinho will travel to Liverpool with Manchester City on Saturday, even if the record signing striker is unlikely to play.

The Brazilian has not featured in a competitive game since injuring his ankle on international duty against Argentina in September.

However, City boss Mark Hughes will take the South American to Merseyside following some positive performances in training this week, although the chances are he will not play.

"He is back training with the group, which is pleasing from everyone's point of view," said Hughes.

"He is travelling with us and we will make a decision tomorrow.

"It could be a bit early for him to be involved, but certainly he will be in the frame for next week's game against Hull."
