Manchester City Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko will most likely spend at least a few weeks on the sidelines with a "very serious calf injury". Bosnia-Herzegovina team doctor Reuf Karabeg said Dzeko, aged 28, would miss Sunday's Euro 2016 qualifier in Israel. The injury forced Dzeko off the pitch just four minutes after he had replaced Fernandinho during Saturday's 2-2 draw at QPR .
"It's a very serious injury and requires the kind of treatment whose time-frame rules out a quick return," Karabeg said. Edin Dzeko has scored four goals in 17 appearances for Manchester City this season but hasn't found the net lately, his last goal was nine games ago.
Manchester City face a busy schedule in the coming weeks, with no less than six games between November 22nd and December 10th. First they will face Swansea at home in the Premier League, then Bayern Munich in the Champions League before back to back away games at Southampton and Sunderland. The Citizens will welcome Everton at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday before the final Champions League group stage match at AS Roma.
Manchester City are 11/2 at Bet365 to win the Premier League title this season.

Without any doubt Edin Dzeko is a great player and important goalscorer for hes teams. But he was mostly at the bench in the recent months and even when he was healthy enough, the City manager Pellegrini not used him often. Some people said that Dzeko is underestimated and I think this is true especially for hes own manager.

Edin Dzeko is a great footballer. And his injury cost a lot Manchester City and national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Everyone believes that Manchester will win when Dzeko is ready for any match,so BIH team believes in Dzeko. That was bad luck for Dzeko and his team, but know i think everything is OK.

@u-praksi I also think that this is bigger problem for Bosnia and Herzegovina than for manchester city. He is best player of his national team and anly real striker and I think that it will be noticable in their play that they are without Dzeko. City can make some change in their squad and I think that they won't notice...

City can make some change in their squad and I think that they won't notice that he is not in team becouse Aguero can do anything he want :)

Wow... This is not good news for us (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Edin Džeko is our best player and his injury can be a big problem for next game against Israel. Bosnia and Herzegovina must win and without Džeko it's gonna be very tough. Man City has a very good strikers and Džeko injury is not such terrible news because...

This is the most underestimated player in English Premier league. He is very important for Manchester City and I am sure that blue squad will miss him in next matches. With Aguero he is constant threat for opponents defenders, and this must be huge reliefe for all Premierleague's golkeapeers

This is terrible thing for Manchester City.Dzeko is very good player and surely thats big lose for City.Negredo is not here but maybe Jovetic can explode and play like Dzeko.However City on end of a season can be second and i think no way to take title.

Manchester city is in bad form at the moment and this dzeko's injury is bad thing for them but I think that won't affect on their play too much. They have aguero and few other players who can play as well as dzeko and if they are good Manchester city won't feel that dzeko isn't there.

Edin Dzeko is a great striker, and this is a big loss for Manchester City, and especially for national team of Bosnia & Herzegovina, because he will miss Sunday's match for Euro 2016 against Izrael. He is a very important player for each team in which he plays. I hope that the doctors will return him to court as soon as...

Manchester City got unluck that Edin Dzeko got injury. He didn't score much goals but he did a lot of goal passes to his team mates. In this season he isn't in his real form/knowladge he can easly score 15 goals/year. I hope he returns as quickly as possible he should deserve it.

It is unfortunately for Manchester City that they gave Negredo on loan. Now they can rely on Aguero who is in amazing form and Jovetic who is still trying to find his optimal form of play. Till now, very bad season for Manchester City. I think that one of the biggest problems lies in defense, although they bought Mangala...
It is unfortunately for Manchester City that they gave Negredo on loan. Now they can rely on Aguero who is in amazing form and Jovetic who is still trying to find his optimal form of play. Till now, very bad season for Manchester City. I think that one of the biggest problems lies in defense, although they bought Mangala this summer, but Kompany is injured. Nastasic is not in first neither second option in Pelegrinis plans. And Demichelis is old at my opinion.
