Manchester City's Israeli playmaker Eyal Berkovic is presently uncertain to make the all-important Premiership tie against champions Arsenal at Maine Road on Saturday.
The 30-year-old midfielder has not trained with the City squad since the local derby with Manchester United on February 9, which he sustained an injury.
City manager Kevin Keegan to the club's website that Berkovic's fitness will determine if he will make the clash or not.
If he doesn't make the encounter, Djamel Belmadi or Algerian veteran Ali Benarbia may step into his shoes on Saturday.
Meanwhile, striker Paulo Wanchope is on the verge to make a comeback, presumably on March 16 when City will face Birmingham City.
