Wanchope back in four weeks

So, realistically the Costa Rica international is looking at a return to action in about a months time.

"I'm already working with the ball and I'm running 1000 metre stints to improve my aerobic condition," said Wanchope.

"City's medical team decided to wait for me until February because they want me 110 per-cent fit. I agreed with them because I want to return as strong physically and mentally as possible."
