Hughes - we can cope
Manchester City, 12:09, October 24, 2009 ,
Manchester City boss Mark Hughes is without Pablo Zabaleta for the clash with Fulham and Kolo Toure is a doubt with a heel injury.
In the absence of the suspended Zabaleta, Hughes may have to call on long-term absentee Vincent Kompany to step in at centre-back.
Micah Richards filled the gap caused by Toure's absence at Wigan, but he will be needed at right back as Nedum Onuoha is still a couple of weeks from recovery,
Hughes is confident that City have the players to cope, he said: "We have players coming back and Micah has played that role very many times, and with the possible option of Kolo we can cope OK."
