City said the initial prognosis had suggested the 32-year-old’s injury was not serious.
“No timescale has yet been set for his return but the Premier League game against the Gunners on Thursday will come too soon,” City said in a statement on their website
The Premier league leaders are currently occupying the top position of the log with 72 points.
