Gael Clichy and Fabian Delph boosted Manchester City's Champions League hopes by flying to Seville with the squad this afternoon.

Clichy has missed the entire season so far with an ankle injury, while Fabian Delph has only managed 16 minutes of action in two substitute appearances after suffering from two hamstring problems.

But after training with the squad at the City Football Academy this morning both were declared fit to join the rest of the players heading for Seville.
