Manchester City have been dealt a blow with news that defender Pablo Zabaleta has been ruled out for one month.
Zabaleta faces four weeks on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury during a City training session.
The Argentine right-back sat out the Citizens' opening two matches following his duties with the national team at recent Copa America in Chile.
The wing-back position has since been filled by former Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna, who is likely to continue in that position.
"Pablo Zabaleta has a problem in his knee, with the ligament," manager Manuel Pellegrini confirmed.
The 30-year-old also added that the injury comes as a huge blow at such a crucial stage of the season.
"It's the first time in 12 years of senior football that I've ever been injured like this so it's a blow, especially at the start of the season," Zabaleta told his club's official website.
