Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb out for months with broken bone
Injury blow for Manchester City as Oscar Bobb ruled out for three to four months
Bobb fractured a bone in his leg during training on Wednesday
Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after fracturing a bone in his leg in training, according to reports.
The 20-year-old is expected to be out for three to four months, which would rule him out of the start of the new Premier League season.
Bobb, who has made 10 appearances for City's first team, is a highly-rated prospect and was expected to play a more prominent role in Pep Guardiola's squad this season.
His injury is a blow to City, who are already without a number of key players due to injury.
Aymeric Laporte, Rodri, and Ilkay Gundogan are all currently sidelined, while Kevin De Bruyne is also a doubt for the start of the season.
City are expected to be active in the transfer market before the window closes on August 31, and they may now be forced to sign a replacement for Bobb.
