Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed on Monday that defender Nathan Ake will return for the club's next training session, but will not take part in Tuesday's English Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad Stadium.
City fans have seen little of Ake since his 40 million pounds (45 million Euros, 53 million US dollars) move from Bournemouth before the start of the current season, with the Netherlands international restricted to just six league appearances.
Ake injured his hamstring - which Guardiola revealed on Monday was a "muscular" problem - against Newcastle United on 26th December last year, with the 26-year-old's recovery shrouded in mystery until his manager confirmed an expected return to training this week.
