Micah Richards plans a return against Blackburn Rovers

Micah Richards is planning a return to play against Blackburn Rovers in Premier League as he was not seen playing for England against Portugal last week Under-21s due to chest infection, but he is confident about his return to play by this weekend.

The player said, I was not fit due to cough and feeling sick, but now I have recovered and feel better and hope to be perfect by the weekend to get back on the ground. I felt bad to miss the important game against Portugal last week and this week against Lithuania.

Manchester City defender said, I am really thankful to Stuart Pearce for making me the captain and I did know him from his time at the club. He also said about their game against Sunderland in last Premier League which was unfortunate for the team to get a late penalty which made them lose the game but I am pleased about my form.
