Man City star to miss start of the season after suffering injury setback

Savinho Omar Marmoush Manchester City
  • Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has been ruled out of the Premier League opener against Bournemouth after sustaining a calf injury during the Community Shield defeat to Arsenal.
  • Manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that the 24-year-old Belgium international is expected to be sidelined for up to three weeks, though the rest of the City squad is available.
  • The injury comes as Manchester City prepare to offload attacking duo Savinho and Omar Marmoush prior to the deadline of the summer transfer window.
  • Tottenham Hotspur have agreed an £85m deal for Savinho, consisting of £75m up front with £10m in add-ons, set to make the Brazilian City's club-record sale.
  • Savinho's arrival would take Tottenham's summer spending under Roberto De Zerbi past £300m, with a potential move for Marmoush likely to push total expenditure towards £400m.
