Manchester City expect Robinho to face United
27.11.08
Mark Hughes is confident Robinho will be fit to play in the Manchester derby on Sunday after being left out of tonight's trip to Schalke in the UEFA Cup.
Robinho (ankle), Pablo Zabaleta (thigh) and Elano, whose wife has had a baby, will all be missing but the City boss insisted he was not keeping them back for the visit of United to Eastlands.
He said: "We left people behind because of injuries. Our squad isn't that great that we can afford to make too many changes. We had a positive result at the weekend [a 3-0 win over Arsenal], which we want to build on."
