Manchester City defender Micah Richards admits they've been missing Emmanuel Adebayor.

Adebayor will be back for tomorrow's clash at Wigan Athletic.

"Emmanuel Adebayor is one of the best strikers in the league," Richards told City's website.

"He has had an up and down season and had to endure that horrific attack at the Cup of Nations in Africa but I am sure he will be fully tuned up for the last eight games.

"Carlos Tevez and Craig Bellamy have been exceptional all season especially when it comes to goals but Ade will give the manager another option and offers a different dimension. If he finishes the season like he started it then we will really benefit."
