Oscar Bobb has returned to the matchday squad for Manchester City against Leicester City in the Premier League on Wednesday evening.
The 21-year-old has missed this season so far after sustaining a leg break in the days following City’s Community Shield victory on penalties over rivals Manchester United in August.
Bobb returned to training in the early parts of the calendar year but manager Pep Guardiola has been cautious in reintegrating the Norwegian back into first-team action.
However, Guardiola needs all the help he can get as fifth-placed Manchester City look to finish in the Premier League top four and win an eighth FA Cup title in the club’s history.
City’s hopes of a strong finish to a drab season have been given a significant boost ahead of kick-off against Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester City side on Wednesday.
Bobb has been named on the bench alongside a rich array of talent as Guardiola shuffles his pack to keep his squad fit amidst a crucial season run-in.
This is a developing story. More to follow.
