There are major concerns surrounding the fitness of City’s Martin Petrov after the winger suffered a blow to his ankle during a friendly for Bulgaria. Petrov felt the full force of a tackle from a Brazilian defender and was immediately carted off to hospital. It is suggested that he may have suffered a dislocation and/or ligament damage on his left ankle, news that could result in a lengthy absence.
City and Fantasy Managers everywhere will be nervously awaiting the results of a scan which we can expect in the next 24-hours. Petrov has been a massive hit in the City side and in Fantasy terms so far this season and many managers have bought in the midfielder over recent weeks following his early season form.
