Robinho has been declared fit for Manchester City's Uefa Cup tie with FC Copenhagen on Thursday night.[LNB] The Brazilian was rated doubtful for the tie in Denmark after picking up a thigh strain in last weekend's defeat to Portsmouth.[LNB]However, the skilful attacker has returned to training and City boss Mark Hughes expects him to feature in Copenhagen.[LNB]"He [Robinho] trained yesterday so we don't anticipate there will be any problems," Hughes told the Sky Sports News.[LNB]City welcome back Richard Dunne and Shaun Wright-Phillips for the trip to Denmark after they were ruled out against Portsmouth because of suspension and Hughes is delighted to have the pair available again.[LNB]"It gives us more options. I think it's important we have got a good strong squad that will give me lots of variation and we will pick a team that we think will win the game.[LNB]"The idea obviously is to get a positive result and that will help in the second leg we hope.[LNB]"They are a good side, in fairness, they are a big strong side as you would imagine.[LNB]"The fact they are on their winter break at the moment may be to our advantage so we will look to make sure we take it."[LNB]
