Mario Balotelli is fit for Manchester City’s crucial double-header against Stoke City and Real Madrid over the next four days.
The Italian striker raised fears for his immediate fitness after having laser surgery on an eye problem in Italy last week and there were suggestions he may be sidelined for a month.
But it is understood that the City forward is fully recovered and available for tomorrow’s difficult trip to Stoke in the Barclays Premier League and the tough game at Madrid in the Champions League next Tuesday.
Balotelli has trained without a problem over the last couple of days and will be with the squad that travels to Staffordshire tonight.
Fellow centre forward Sergio Aguero is less likely to be involved. The Argentinean international is back in solitary training after suffering a knee injury on the opening Sunday of the season but has not yet joined in with his team-mates.
Meanwhile, City defender Micah Richards has revealed he hopes to be back in full training in two weeks after suffering an ankle injury playing for Team GB in the Olympics.
Richards has yet to play this season and has competition for the right-back slot from Pablo Zabaleta and new signing Maicon.
