Big blow for Man City as surgery could rule out player they now want to sign for four months

After signing three players in quick time this summer, Manchester City will be hoping that during the remainder of the transfer window, they can make similarly seamless additions to their squad.

However, doing so will be easier said than done for Manchester City, who have 17 non-homegrown players and as a result, they may have to make some outgoings to bring new players in.
