The decision comes with City missing first-team midfielders Javi Garcia, who has not featured since damaging his thigh against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, and Jack Rodwell, who picked up a hamstring problem while on international duty with the England Under-21s.

Razak made two appearances for Chris Powell's team after completing his switch at the end of September, making his debut against Blackpool earlier in October before being substituted at half-time in the 1-0 defeat to Barnsley two weeks later.

The 19-year-old has made one league appearance in each of his three seasons with City and featured for 106 minutes in the Capital One Cup third-round tie against Aston Villa.

The former Crystal Palace youth player made his debut for the Ivory Coast national team in August when they played a friendly against Russia.
