The Manchester City right-back left the Etihad Stadium with heavy strapping on his right knee, and he fears he has sustained ligament damage
Pablo Zabaleta fears he suffered a knee ligament injury during Manchester City’s 2-1 victory over Arsenal on Sunday.
Zabaleta was withdrawn at half-time after picking up a problem early on in the game at the Etihad Stadium, and he will have tests on Monday to ascertain the exact extent of the damage.
The Argentina right-back left the stadium in a knee brace but, having suffered two separate knee injuries last season, is hopeful he has suffered a mild ‘grade 1’ sprain and that he could be back in action at the start of January.
