Hart, Delph train ahead of PSG clash; Toure sits out

Yaya Toure was absent from Manchester City training on Tuesday as he continues to struggle with a heel injury, but Manuel Pellegrini looks able to call upon Joe Hart and Fabian Delph for Wednesday's trip to Paris Saint-Germain.

Toure has started all eight of his side's Champions League fixtures so far, but looks extremely doubtful for the quarter-final first leg with an issue that also saw him unavailable for last Saturday's 4-0 victory at Bournemouth.

Hart had to be stretchered off in the Manchester derby on March 3, and missed England's two friendlies over the international break and City's weekend win to receive treatment on his calf. Delph, meanwhile, has had a spotty campaign due to a succession of injuries, but is poised to return a month after overcoming an Achilles problem.

Last time City and PSG met was in the UEFA Cup in 2008, when they played out a slow 0-0 draw at the Etihad Stadium.
