City boss Hughes confirmed: "Shaun is still feeling a bit of discomfort and is likely to miss out."
Micah Richards is still feeling some discomfort in the knee injury that forced him to limp off at Goodison. Hughes said: "He probably won't train, we'll keep him indoors today but we're hopeful he might be available."
And so the Elano/SWP selection crunch is postponed by another week. At which point we're playing United away, and so any decision on personnel can be put within the context of a new system for a difficult game.
Right back is a bit more of a concern. If Richards doesn't make it we could well see Shaleum Logan again.

Or Nedum at right back with Kompany next to Dunne? Might leave us a bit light in midfield, but could be worth trying against a Blackburn side who are now a bit further away from the relegation places if it means Richards is fresher for the derby.
To be honest, this is exactly why I think we DO need to buy Veloso, or a player like him, this summer. Like Kompany, he can apparently play in the CB position too.
kompany is quality at centre back or in midfield. he may prefer the midfield...but he's better at the back.
veloso would be a good buy..or inler at udinese might be worth a look! impressed with him...from what i have seen this season.
It would be no bad thing to give Logan a Run. He had a torrid time at Portsmouth but he was surrounded by the clueless and the lazy that day. He's a good player and Pederson is showing nothing like the talent he did under Hughes. I'd have no worries.
