Sane, Silva and Delph train for City

Leroy Sane, David Silva and Fabian Delph took part in training on Monday as Manchester City geared up for their Champions League clash with Basel.

The trio have been out injured, although their absences have not prevented Pep Guardiola's side extending their lead at the top the Premier League to 16 points after thrashing Leicester 5-1 on Saturday.

Sane sustained ankle ligament damage following a poor challenge from Cardiff City's Joe Bennett in a 2-0 FA Cup fourth-round victory late last month, while Silva limped out of the 3-0 win over West Brom with a hip problem three days later.

Delph has been missing since suffering a knee injury in the thrilling 4-3 loss at Liverpool on January 14, but all three were pictured in training ahead of City's trip to Switzerland for the opening leg of their last-16 tie.

Guardiola will be revealed to have the three players back in contention after complaining about the lack of potection from officials, with the club even writing to the refereeing board to change the law regarding retrospective action.
