Man City suffer fresh huge injury blow as star ruled out for several months | OneFootball

Manchester City have won the Premier League title in each of the last four seasons and are looking to bag another crown in 2024-25.

Arsenal will hope that is not the case and the stars could align for them this term.

City have suffered a huge injury blow ahead of the season opener this weekend, with emerging star Oscar Bobb set to be out for several months after fracturing a bone in his leg.

The 21-year-old winger played 89 minutes in the Community Shield victory over Manchester United on Saturday, and he was tipped to play a huge role this season.

No side had ever won four league titles in a row in 136 years of professional football in England before Man City set the record, but extending it to five could now prove tricky with a key player set to miss months of action.

Arsenal will look to hit the ground running and give themselves another chance of mounting a stronger title challenge this term.

While some people will think the injury to Bobb is inconsequential to the title race this season as he was not a regular member of the Man City squad last term, Pep Guardiola will feel otherwise.

He could be forced to bring in another winger in the coming days, but it could be too late to get in someone who understands how his side plays.

It is advantage Arsenal despite it still being early days, but a slow start to the season for Man City could work in their favour.

The Etihad Stadium club are already waiting on fitness updates on Rodri, Phil Foden, John Stones and Kyle Walker, as they are only set to return to training this week.
