Manchester City’s star defender injured during international duty

According to the report, doctors have said that the defender felt “overload in his right adductor muscle”.

The 27-year old, who enjoyed a stellar European championship tournament in the summer, has been the starting defender for City in the first three games of the premier league. He even managed to get on the scoresheet against Norwich City.

But he was taken out during half-time in the world cup qualifiers game against Georgia as Spain secured a 4-0 victory.

He has impressed the City coaching staff recently with his consistency at the heart of the defence and his ability to play passes and hold the ball.

Even though he was linked with a move away from the club in the summer transfer window, the former Atletico Bilbao player has come back this season and proved his worth. He has been brimming with self-confidence and looks to be back at his best.
