Elano set for recall

Sven Goran Eriksson is ready to restore Brazilian playmaker Elano to Manchester City's starting line-up in the League Cup quarterfinal against Tottenham, despite seeing his side secure a ninth straight Premier League home win with a 4-2 victory against Bolton.
Goals at Eastlands from Rolando Bianchi, Darius Vassell, Kelvin Etuhu and Lubomir Michalik's own goal sealed victory for City against a Bolton team that had briefly led 2-1 through El-Hadji Diouf and Kevin Nolan.
But with City aiming to reach their first major cup semifinal since 1981, former England coach Eriksson is planning to bring back five-goal top scorer Elano, out for two weeks with a hamstring injury, against Spurs on Tuesday.
"Elano will hopefully be fit for Tuesday. He is a fantastic player and we are hoping that everything is okay with him," Eriksson said after a win that maintained City's push for European football next season.
"It is good to go into that game with a victory, though. We started well and scored a good goal, but it looked very bad for us at half-time after Bolton had taken the lead," the Swede added.
"When the players came in at half-time, I told them that they looked like losers. They looked like a losing team and I told them to their faces that they wouldn't win the game like that. But they were much better in the second-half and they deserved to win the game in the end."
Italian striker Bianchi set City on their way to victory with his seventh minute goal, his fourth for the club since arriving in an 8.8 million pounds pre-season move.
