Fabian Delph returned to training ahead of City's trip to Monchengladbach, but Vincent Kompany looks set to miss out.
The Man City skipper was forced off against Crystal Palace on Saturday after suffering from blurred vision and won’t be risked in Germany.
Delph hasn’t featured for the first team since the end of August when he was an unused sub against West Ham.
He required surgery on a troublesome groin problem and his return will give Pep Guardiola another midfield option.
John Stones, Ilkay Gundogan and Gael Clichy also trained for the Blues who could seal at least second spot with a victory at Borussia-Park.
Saturday’s two-goal hero Yaya Toure also trained with the squad though he is unavailable to play in this phase of the Champions League.
