Danny Simpson and Robert Huth are in contention to make their returns from injury at Peterborough on Saturday.

Simpson has recovered from a hamstring injury and Huth from ankle and foot injuries, and manager Claude Puel has confirmed they will be in the squad for the FA Cup clash at London Road.

Puel has also stated that new signing Fousseni Diabate will also make his debut against Posh as he makes changes to his starting line-up with next Wednesday’s Premier League clash with Everton at Goodison Park in mind.

“Robert perhaps can participate in this game,” said Puel. “We will see but I think we come into the squad. Danny is available also.

“Diabate, I think perhaps he will have some game time in this game and we will see for other players.

“We will pick a team to win the game and I hope to get us further in the competition.

“He is a good profile and has good attributes. He is learning about the Premier League and a lot of things but he has all the attributes to be a good player for the future.”

Captain Wes Morgan is the only player still unavailable but Puel confirmed he has undergone a scan on his hamstring and it proved the injury wasn’t as bad as feared.

He has stepped up his rehabilitation in the gym.

“No, we don’t have a date on Wes but there was some good news,” he said.

“His scan was good and he is back in the gym running and he plays with the ball in the gym. He is making good progress.

“He is our captain and we have a good feeling with Wes. He is a valuable player and it will be good to have him back.

“He is happy because his injury was not too bad but after he has made good progress in his recovery.”

Puel said he will make changes to his side but assured City fans the team he fields will be good enough to win the game.

“We want to try to win both games,” he said. “We need to make some decision to try to get a good result.

“We rested players for the last game at Fleetwood. We will see because this different we have other games important game against Everton next week.

“We had one week to recover and then we see who starts. It is important to give some rest for some players for the next game.”
