Manchester City's Gareth Barry to have ankle scan

Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry is to see a specialist about the right ankle injury he suffered in their 1-0 loss to Tottenham on Wednesday.

The England international hurt himself falling over a team-mate in the second half of the loss which ended City's Champions League hopes.

City's website says he sprained the ankle and the full extent of the injury will become clear after the check-up.

Barry will hope the injury does not threaten his World Cup place.

The knock does rule him out of City's last game of the season at West Ham.

Barry, 29, joined City from Aston Villa in June 2009 for £12m, citing Villa's failure to qualify for the Champions League as one of his reasons for leaving.

He has won 36 caps since making his England debut against Ukraine in 2000, and is widely expected to be included in coach Fabio Capello's squad for the World Cup in South Africa if he is fit.
