Manchester City youngster Tommy Doyle could be recalled from his loan with Hamburg.
The 20-year-old has played just seven times for the German side so far this season.
City are now rethinking their plans for Doyle and it is very possible he could return from Germany, according to BILD.
It is believed the Sky Blues would send Doyle out on loan again in January, this time to a club in the Championship.
Swansea City are one of the teams linked with a January swoop.
