C:WindowsTempphpCC0.tmpRumours that Fabio is a target for Middlesbrough intensified on the weekend when he was left out of the matchday squad for the goalless draw at Birmingham.

"Coming into the first game of the season we wanted everyone fully focused on the job in hand," Paul Trollope said.

"The timing wasn't great for us but hopefully there will be a resolution next week.

"There has been an interest from another club and that was the reason he was left out."

The Brazillian, a Premier League title winner with Manchester Utd, joined City in January 2014
