City pair on mend after swine flu

Manchester City duo Craig Bellamy and Vladimir Weiss are set to resume training before the weekend after recovering from doses of swine flu.

Slovakian international midfielder Weiss came down with the disease almost a week ago and has been laid low since before City's 2-1 home win over Chelsea last Saturday.

Bellamy reported suffering cold and flu symptoms over the weekend and was tested for the H1N1 strain on Monday, although he has since recovered and could be back in training before the squad heads to Bolton this weekend.

The Welsh international also has a bruised knee, which kept him out of the impressive win over the Blues, but could be in contention for a return for the trip to the Reebok Stadium.

The two will be joined at Carrington by fellow first team returnee Stephen Ireland, who also missed last week's game with a minor knee injury.ADNFCR-708-ID-19503813-ADNFCR
