Pablo Zabaleta ruled out for a month due to knee injury

Manchester City’s defender, Pablo Zabaleta has been ruled out for a month as a result of a knee ligament injury he sustained in training.
Manuel Pellegrini confirmed that the player suffered a knee ligament issue in training this week.
He said: “Pablo Zabaleta had yesterday a problem in his knee. I think he will be out for around a month. “Fabian Delph returned this week on Wednesday to work with the whole squad so he doesn’t have have any problem,” he added.
The right-back is set to miss fixtures against Everton, Watford, Palace and West Ham as well as the opening round of Champions League fixtures. Bacary Sagna has impressed this season and should now get more opportunities to stake a claim for regular first-team football.

Aguero to miss start of the season

Manager of Manchester city, Manuel Pelligrinni has disclosed that Sergio Aguero and other South American players in the team will miss start of the season in order to get enough rest.
Pelligrinni stressed that it is crucial they get enough rest after having played so many games throughout the year.
“I think in football it’s so important to work hard, but also resting has the same importance,” Pellegrini told reporters.
“You have so many games throughout the year that if you don’t give them 30 days after they’ve finished their internationals, it’s very difficult for them to work hard. It’s more difficult for the South American players because Pablo Zabaleta, Martin Demichelis, Sergio Aguero and Fernandinho finished later, the first days of July, so they won’t have 30 days. I think when we return to Manchester they will start their preseason. Maybe they will not be involved in the first game, but I am sure they will work hard and will be involved as soon as they can.”

Martin Demichelis, Pablo Zabaleta, Aguero and Fernandinho have not been on City’s preseason tour to Australia, having been given time off after the Copa America.
