Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini says that James Milner is out of tomorrow's match against Everton due to a hamstring injury and is unsure when the winger will return.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has revealed that winger James Milner will be unavailable for this weekend's match against Everton.

The England international limped off the field with a hamstring injury after scoring in City's 2-0 win over Wigan Athletic on Wednesday. While Mancini has claimed that Milner could return next weekend, the Italian boss is not making any promises.

"James is out for tomorrow," said Mancini. "We will try to recover him for next Sunday but we don't know."

Milner has also been ruled out of City's Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.
