"?Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has been "?handed a triple injury boost ahead of his side's visit to Everton on Sunday as captain Vincent Kompany, Leroy Sane and Fernando have all returned to first-team training.
Kompany has been out of action since injuring his knee against Crystal Palace in November, while Sane - a summer signing from Schalke - has been missing since he starred in the club's 2-1 win over Arsenal on December 18. Fernando is also back after last appearing on Boxing Day.
Guardiola takes his City side to Everton looking to keep the pressure on Chelsea at the top of the Premier League, but are in fine form after winning five out of their last six games in all competitions including a comprehensive 5-0 thrashing of West Ham in the FA Cup in their last outing.

Meanwhile, reported City target Holger Badstuber has joined Schalke on loan from Bayern Munich as Guardiola's quest for defensive reinforcements continues. City had been linked with the 27-year-old central defender, who managed only 28 minutes of Bundesliga action for Carlo Ancelotti's side this season.
"Holger deserves to play. He's been injured so often but now he's physically fit again and would like to play more games," said Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
"That's why he asked us to allow him to go out on loan to Schalke, and we gladly agreed. We hope Holger will get plenty of minutes under his belt in the coming months."
