Unfortunately a number of City’s other loan rangers had to watch from the sidelines this week due to injury or ineligibility.
Scott Sinclair missed West Brom’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal due to a hamstring knock sustained at Old Trafford last week, while Gareth Barry could not play for Everton against Manuel Pellegrini’s men under the terms of his loan agreement.
Before the game, Toffees boss Roberto Martinez spoke of the effect Gareth has had on the rest of his squad since moving to Merseyside on deadline day.
Martinez told Sky Sports: “The way he is as a human being is an incredible influence for players like James McCarthy and Ross Barkley.
“He is someone players can look up to, someone who has been through many experiences and can give some sort of calm influence.
“On the pitch James has developed a good chemistry with Gareth.
“In the second half against West Ham he did that straight away and he grew even bigger against Newcastle.
“Players like James and Ross are going to get stronger and better and learn so quickly from someone like Gareth.
“He adds to the development of our youngsters, which is invaluable really.”
EDS defender George Swan is currently out with a hamstring injury, while Karim Rekik remains on the sidelines with an ankle problem.
Mohammed Abu was not involved for AGF Aarhus in their draw with Randers.
