Manchester City welcome back Javi Garcia, Pablo Zabaleta and James Milner for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League trip to West Ham but Micah Richards has been added to the injury list.
Midfielder Garcia (thigh) and full-back Zabaleta (hamstring) have recovered from injuries while Milner returns after serving a one-match suspension against Swansea last weekend.
However, midfielders David Silva and Jack Rodwell (both hamstring) and defender Maicon (foot) are still out while Richards suffered what appeared to be a serious knee injury against Swansea, although Mancini is hoping he will be fit again within a month.
Provisional squad: Hart, Pantilimon, Wright, Kompany, Lescott, K Toure, Nastasic, Clichy, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Nasri, Y Toure, Barry, Sinclair, Garcia, Milner, Aguero, Balotelli, Dzeko, Tevez.
