Oscar Bobb: Manchester City midfielder suffers leg fracture before Premier League opener against Chelsea
Manchester City midfielder Oscar Bobb is set for a spell on the sidelines after fracturing a bone in his leg during training.
The 21-year-old Norway international sustained the injury in a non-contact situation when he was turning.
City are set to assess the full extent of the injury and it is possible he will fly to Barcelona to have further treatment.
Bobb, who joined City from Valerenga in 2019, has impressed for Pep Guardiola’s side during pre-season and played 89 minutes of the Community Shield win against Manchester United.
With a number of City’s international players having only just returned to training this week, Bobb was expected to feature in their Premier League opener against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Bobb made 26 appearances for City last season and signed a new five-year contract in February.
