Man City boost over Negredo injury

Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo should only be out for two months after the striker broke his foot. The 28-year-old, injured in a friendly against Hearts on Friday, posted a picture on Instagram of his right foot in a protective boot.

"I want to let you know that it's going to be hard for the next few months," he wrote. "I fractured my 5th metatarsal and will be out a few months.

"I will be back stronger than ever. I will return with a vengeance."

Reports had claimed that Negredo would be out for three months but City officials believe he could be back before the end of September.
