City's plethora of players away on international duty are in the spotlight today, and there's room for coverage of one who isn't.

Robinho played his part in Brazil's 2-0 win over the Republic of Ireland last night, with the Star reporting that  he "...reminded City of exactly what they are missing yesterday after leading his side to a routine victory over the Republic of Ireland last night. Dunga said: 'I think Robinho has benefited from leaving England. "You can see that he is happy again and plays his best football when he is happy.'"

Micah Richards will lead the England Under 21s in their vital European Championships qualifier against Greece, but the man who gave him his break in the City side four years ago reckons he still has a chance of getting into Fabio Capello's thoughts when it comes to the World Cup.

Stuart Pearce says in the Star, "Micah knows a good performance won't do him any harm at all, but the same goes for all the lads."

Craig Bellamy won't feature in tonight's game against Sweden, but his Welsh team mate James Collins is hopeful that the striker will be back on the scene for the Euro 2012 campaign.

The Villa star tells the Mirror, "Any Wales team with Craig in it is a better team. It would be great to have him around for the qualifiers."
