Weaver hoping for all-clear

Wever, who has undergone four operations on the injued knee is hoping now to be given the all-clear to step up his training and fight his way back into Kevin Keegans first team plans.

"I am flying at the moment," he told the City's official website.

"I have been doing a lot of exercises during the summer and the muscles around the knee are stronger than they have ever been.


"In the last few days I have progressed from the gym to the training ground.

"Hopefully when I return to America next week I will get the all-clear to step up my training to another level."
