Just read on the BBC sportsday live stream
"Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo has tweeted that he has fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot."
Not good news.

City had terrible luck with injuries last year to most key players, I think only Arsenal had worse.
Imo we would of won the league quite comfortably otherwise, thats why the manner of the way we won it didnt bother me. If it carries on into this season it will be a huge concern and cant see us winning it again.
I do think Pell needs to be a bit smarter if we have a few injuries like playing Demichellis in a CM 2 against Chelsea when Jose was gonna pack his was suicide.

To be fair we have goals throughout the team so even if we had to play Dzeko on his own im still confident we will score, Nasri, Silva, Yaya, Fernandinho and Milner have all got goals in them.

As such a special player Silva is, he could/should score 10-15 goals per season.
Needs to have a bit more greed.
Then again he's assisting plenty.

We scored the fastest hundred goals in all comps on Jan 18 and media and fans thought we would easily break the record in all comps, we didnt. We didnt even break the prem record for goals and i think that was down to injuries. If you look at the teams we dropped points to I also think we could of got more.
I think injuries prevented us from breaking records and the season being about us instead off being about Liverpool losing it.
Next season will be different because all top teams have got stronger.

If it is only a metatarsal then he should be back in September at the latest.

Should send him into the peaks whilst he's recovering with only some flint, a bit of string, and the shirt on his back. Let him become one with the wilderness, and more importantly than that, remember how to score goals.
