Man City defender Sagna recovers from hamstring in time for Manc derby

Manchester City right-back Bacary Sagna has recovered from his hamstring injury in time for Saturday's much-anticipated Manchester derby.

The Frenchman has missed City's last three game due to his injury but hopes to be involved in Pep Guardiola's squad for the game against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

"I feel good. I had to rest a bit because I had a little tear on one of my hamstrings," Sagna told City TV.

"I had a long season last year, so I need to take care of my body, but today I feel great. I am looking forward to Saturday.

"I am going to be giving my maximum in the training sessions to feel as fit as possible, then the manager might have to make some choices."
