Manchester City vs Watford - Fernandinho fighting to be fit for final

Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho is hoping to prove his fitness to face Watford in Saturday’s FA Cup final at Wembley.

The Brazilian, who missed the final three games of the champions’ Premier League title run-in with a knee injury, returned to training this week.

Playmaker Kevin De Bruyne could also feature after returning from a hamstring problem as a substitute at Brighton last week but left-back Benjamin Mendy has been ruled out through injury.

Watford will have Jose Holebas available.

The defender looked like missing out through suspension after he was sent off in the final Premier League game of the season against West Ham, but the Football Association rescinded his red card.

Boss Javi Gracia has a decision to make in goal between Ben Foster and Heurelho Gomes, who has played every round of the competition so far.
