Pablo Zabaleta set to make a return to the Manchester City line-up after getting through Argentina's World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay unscathed.

Zabaleta made his first appearance of the season for City during their 6-1 victory over Newcastle United after two months out with injury and the club faithful were worried regarding the defender's fitness as he was immediately called up for the Argentina national team recently.

To allay fears though, Zabaleta played the full 90 minutes during Argentina's World Cup qualifier against Paraguay in Asuncion, which ended in a 0-0 draw, and is set to be available for City when host Bournemouth this weekend.
