Riyad Mahrez is set to return to Manchester City squad for the second leg of their League Cup semi-final clash against Burton Albion, Goal understands.
The winger, expected to start on Wednesday, was left out of the matchday squad for Sunday's Premier League win at Huddersfield Town, with Pep Guardiola citing a 'rotational, tactical decision'.
The move was on the back of the Catalan's decision to drop the former Leicester City star to the bench for a previous game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the win over Liverpool; with the 27-year-old eventually playing no part in the encounters.
