Patrick Vieira will make his first start for Manchester City Football Club on Tuesday.

The veteran French midfielder joined the Blues from Inter Milan in the New Year, but he has yet to make his first start for the club as he recovers from an ankle injury.

Vieira did, though, manage 29 minutes as a second half substitute in the 2-1 loss at Hull City on Saturday, and he will now get his first start against Bolton Wanderers.

“Patrick will start as long as he doesn’t have a reaction in his calf and there was no indication he had one immediately after the game,” coach Roberto Mancini told City's website.
