Gundogan blow for Man City

Manchester City have been dealt a blow after German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan sustained a knee injury that manager Pep Guardiola fears will sideline him for "several months".

The Germany international had to be substituted in the 44th minute of City's 2-0 Premier League win over Watford at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday after an accidental collision with Nordin Amrabat.

Guardiola revealed afterwards he had sustained suspected knee ligament damage.

"We are going to miss him for a long time," said Guardiola. "This is the worst news.

"I'm so sad. The doctors think he has ligament damage, but he doesn't know exactly (how serious it is).

“We will know tomorrow (Thursday), but it doesn't look good. I think it will be several months. He is so sad about it."
