The Brazil international has been sidelined since August with a stress fracture, and had targeted returning to the first-team picture in next Wednesday's Carling Cup tie with Scunthorpe.
However, City boss Mark Hughes revealed that the British record signing from Real Madrid is not yet ready to play.Manchester City forward Robinho is set to miss another two weeks of action after suffering a setback in his recovery from an ankle injury.
Hughes said: "Robi is not ready to come back into the group yet, but he is not far off. It is unlikely he will be fit to play against Scunthorpe.

"The best we can hope for is that if he gets back into training he could possibly be on the bench, but even then it's a little bit too soon."
Barcelona had reportedly been lining up a move for Robinho, but the European champions' sporting director Txiki Begiristain insists that their interest has cooled since they were warned off the player in the summer.
