Manchester City manager Mark Hughes is poised to gain one striker but lose another this weekend.[LNB]Emmanuel Adebayor is set to return to the side for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash at home to Burnley after missing the goalless draw at Birmingham four days ago with an ankle injury.[LNB]Club skipper Kolo Toure also seems set to face the Clarets after he joined Adebayor on the sidelines last weekend with a heel problem.[LNB]However, Roque Santa Cruz is likely to miss the match at Eastlands after sustaining an ankle injury at St Andrew's which forced him off midway through the second half.[LNB]Hughes said: "Roque hasn't trained since the weekend. He got a really bad bang on his ankle. He's got a lot of blood in and around the area that needs to come out. We need to shift that and we're hopeful he will be able to train tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see.[LNB]"Ade and Kolo have trained for the last couple of days. They've had a couple of sessions and there was no reaction today from the work yesterday. The feeling is they will be okay for the weekend."
