Man City handed double injury boost ahead of Champions League clash with Tottenham

Man City have been handed a massive double injury boost ahead of the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Tottenham Hotspur.

Sergio Aguero and Fabian Delph both returned to training on Sunday in preparation for City's trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Aguero hasn't played since he picked up a knock in the 2-0 victory against Fulham and Fabian Delph's last game was in the FA Cup quarter final win over Swansea City.

It's not yet known if either will be fit enough to be available for Tuesday's vital game but seeing them back on the pitch can only be a good sign, especially as City suffered yet another injury on Saturday.

Kyle Walker was substituted at half-time in the FA Cup semi-final victory against Brighton with a hamstring issue and he joins Aleks Zinchenko on the sidelines.

The casualties means City only have two fit full-backs with one of them being Benjamin Mendy - who made his first start in 146 days at Wembley - and Danilo, meaning Delph's return would be a welcome one.

Pep Guardiola will also no doubt want Aguero fit for what is certain to be a difficult game against Spurs.

City have remained in London after their successful trip to London and have trained at The Valley, home of Charlton Athletic, today.
