The shattering news that Muzzy could be out for 4-5 weeks was announced today. Sav is still awaiting news on his injury.

Muzzy has damaged his calf and will not be fit for a month.

The only good news is that at least there is almost two weeks without a game in that period thanks to International games.

Sav is still awaiting results on his leg. It is hoped he may only be out a week or two but there are concerns that he too could be sidelined for a month, which is not a prospect City fans will relish.

This is a massive blow to City who have to face the Champions Man Utd at Old Trafford on Saturday, now without their two most influential midfielders.
