Scan eases Richards injury fears


Richards has been a key figure for Man City this season

Manchester City defender Micah Richards could be fit for England's crucial Euro 2008 qualifier against Croatia despite being stretchered off at Bolton.

The 19-year-old twisted his knee in Wednesday's 1-0 Carling Cup win.

But a scan on Thursday revealed the right back has bruised cartliage and has suffered no long-term damage.

A City spokesperson said: "Micah has bruised his medial meniscus cartilage in his right knee and he will continue to be assessed on a daily basis."
