Bad Signs Bojinov

Fears have been raised regarding the comeback date of summer signing Valeri Bojinov. The Man City striker could miss the rest of the season even though he has returned to training. The Bulgarian has been out of action since the derby win over Manchester United in August after suffering ligament damage. Bojinov recently started 'light' training but assistant boss Hans Backe has admitted: "Valeri had his first session on Wednesday and I don't know if I am being a little pessimistic or not but with the kind of injury he has had I am inclined to think that he will not be fully fit until the summer." Backe was quoted in the Manchester Evening News as saying: "If we are lucky he may be ready more quickly but we don't want to push it and experience says that with that kind of injury it takes some months to come back to games even after returning to training."This on the back of Bianchi heading to Lazio, the lack of quality firepower in the squad and inactivity (so far) in the transfer market means that once again us City fans are left wondering where the season will go from here.
