Man City Jack Rodwell will be out for a month

Manchester City midfielder Jack Rodwell has suffered a setback to his hamstring injury and will be on the sidelines for up to a month.

Rodwell limped off in the 25th minute of the Premier League encounter between Aston Villa and Manchester City. The medical assessment revealed the recurrence of the hamstring injury.

Mancini revealed his disappointment with the Rodwell’s injury, stating: “We are very sorry for Jack, because he is a good guy, a good player, but he is unlucky. It is his hamstring. How long will he be out? Maybe he will be back after the international break, three or four weeks. It is the same injury. I am very sorry because he is a young player. He needs to improve but he has played very well against Chelsea and was playing very well tonight.”
