Rodwell back for City

Manchester City have midfielder Jack Rodwell available again for tonight's Champions League Group D clash with Borussia Dortmund at the Etihad Stadium.



Rodwell is fit for selection after missing two games with a groin problem but full-backs Maicon (heel) and Micah Richards (ankle) are not yet ready to return.

Edin Dzeko came off the bench to score the winner against Fulham and is pushing to dislodge Carlos Tevez or Sergio Aguero against German opposition he knows well from his time at Wolfsburg.

Centre-back Joleon Lescott may have to settle for a place among the substitutes again, having been dropped for Matija Nastasic in recent weeks.

Jurgen Klopp has no notable absentees and should be able to field a full-strength side in Manchester.

Robert Lewandowski was rested for Dortmund's 5-0 win against Borussia Monchengladbach at the weekend but will return to the side, with Julian Schieber making way.



City lost their opening group match away to Real Madrid last month but will be hopeful of getting off the mark at home where they have gone 17 matches without defeat in European competition.
