The extent of his injury still needs to be confirmed after further testing; foreign media estimate it could be a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, which if requiring surgery, might end his season. In the past, Manchester City heavily relied on him, but this season they have won the Community Shield and all four of their opening league games with the Spanish defensive midfielder only making one substitute appearance.

However, if Manchester City want to maintain their original momentum and push for both the Premier League and Champions League titles in the second half of the season, reinforcements in the winter window are likely needed. For example, Zubimendi from Real Sociedad?
