And Sunday Mirror Sport has been told by a source close to the 21-year-old that Richards will this week demand assurances from Hughes that he remains part of his plans.
The source said: “Micah expected to be involved at Liverpool and feels that he is being unfairly blamed for some of the team’s defensive problems this season.
“It is well known that there was a problem between Micah and Mark Hughes at the end of last season.
“But he was told the matter was closed and that he was part of City’s plans for the future despite rumours that he was about to be sold.
This isn't a surprise. From what I've heard Micah Richards is finished at City - Hughes and the staff have no time for him any more. With Onuoha fit, and our other defensive options, I'm not sure he always necessarily warrants a place in the matchday squads. A January move would not be a surprise.

Yeah, totally agree Jack, Hughes obviously doesn't like his playing style or his attitude. He is as good as gone
Send him out on loan. You can still say, at 21, that he's got potential. Bags of it.
he might bounce back, sure , but it doe snot look like it is going to happen at city. If you think back to his best games whilst at the club, he was getting forward, defending well, and scoring goals! He literally does NONE of that now and while he has been a great servant in the past, he shows no signs of being the player he was just two seasons ago. If I were him I would leave and try and restart my career with a new challenge.
What odds he ends up at Birmingham City?
I hope he does go; he's gone bad. Players have dips in form but not ones that last two seasons. I think we would be a very different proposition with a decent right back.
