LONDON — Manchester City has been collecting strikers for fun over the past year yet it goes into Sunday's derby against Manchester United with only one fit front man — Craig Bellamy.
Carlos Tevez's knee injury rules him out of facing his former club, which at least will lower the temperature at Old Trafford by a couple of degrees.
Robinho has an ankle problem, Roque Santa Cruz, yet to play for City since his summer transfer from Blackburn, is only just back in training after knee surgery, while Emmanuel Adebayor is suspended (more on him later).
