Jesus Navas has joined Manchester City’s growing casualty list.
The winger twisted an ankle in last night’s Capital One Cup, quarter-final against Hull City at the Etihad.
Navas joins Sergio Aguero, Joe Hart, Vincent Kompany, Samir Nasri and Fernando on the sidelines.
Manager Manuel Pellegrini explained that Aguero is still complaining of pain in his heel, an injury sustained in Saturday’s home game against Southampton.
Pellegrini explained Aguero’s problem is improving but it is too early to say if he will return at Stoke City on Saturday.
The same applies to Hart with Pellegrini saying Tuesday’s Champions League game against Borussia Monchengladbach is a more realistic prospect.
