Joleon Lescott believes patience is the key to regaining his starting place in the Manchester City line-up.
The situation means the 30-year-old is unlikely to feature as his former club Everton visit the Etihad Stadium this weekend. Lescott said: "I always look forward to playing Everton, but it's never less than a tough game for us as well so I've mixed feelings, I suppose. "I'd like to think I had a good relationship with the supporters when I was at Goodison Park so it's a shame that didn't continue after I'd left, but it happens in football and it's understandable that they were upset when I left. "I think the fact we've won the Premier League and FA Cup since I came to City has proved my decision to have been a good one and it's one I don't regret, but I enjoyed my time at Everton and have a lot of good memories of playing for the club."
