Man City winger, Oscar Bobb, has joined England international, Jack Grealish in the treatment room and will miss Sunday’s Premier League clash against London side, Chelsea.
This is as the Norwegian international reportedly fractured a bone in his leg and will likely be facing months out.
The injury is a big blow to Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, who had high hopes for Bobb this season.
Prior to the development, the Spanish tactician had said Grealish is a doubt for their league opening fixture against the Blues.

In his words, the winger picked up a knock in training ahead of the Community Shield clash against Manchester United.
He added. “I don’t think it’s a big issue but we didn’t want to take a risk. It’s a blow, he had rhythm and was aggressive.”
However, with Bobb and Grealish injured, Guardiola will be counting on Jeremy Doku and new £33million signing Savinho to play on the wings.
According to The Mirror, Man City will send Bobb to Barcelona for a thorough examination by renowned specialist, Dr Ramon Cugat.
Despite initial assessments suggesting that the injury might not be as severe as initially feared, the Premier League champions will await a full diagnosis before making decisions on the winger’s treatment plan and recovery timeline.
