The Premier League champions said: "He has since returned to Manchester for tests and will continue to be monitored."

However, subsequent tests revealed the extent of the striker's injury, which is likely to keep him out of a string of big games for both club and country.

City face a Manchester derby at Old Trafford plus a Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain within the next six weeks, while Spain play World Cup qualifiers against Greece and Sweden next month.
