Stevan Jovetic could face another spell on the sidelines after he limped off the field during Montenegro's Euro 2016 qualifier against Liechtenstein on Thursday night.
The former Fiorentina player has already been injured once on international duty this season and missed five of City's games after suffering a hamstring problem in training with his country in September.
After his £22 million pound move he made only two starts during his debut season due to injuries and has only made two substitute appearances this season against Villa and Roma.
