Manchester City winger Samir Nasri will make his first Premier League start since September after recovering from a thigh injury.
The Frenchman's had muscle ripped from the bone and was excluded from the club's Champions League squad as a result.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini says he will use Nasri to try and salvage the club's faltering Premier League campaign, starting this Saturday against West Brom.
"It was a very unlucky injury because it was in a training session without any problem," the Argentine coach said.
"He shot a ball and he felt that something happened in his muscle, and it was a very hard injury.
"I am happy for him because he worked very well in the last month. He returned maybe a little bit earlier than the doctor expected, that’s why he is not in the Champions League list and I changed him for Kelechi [Iheanacho].
"I hope in the last games of the Premier League he will demonstrate how good a player he is."
