Manchester City midfielder Oscar Bobb has fractured a bone in his leg during training and is set for a spell on the sidelines, the PA news agency understands.
The 21-year-old is being assessed by medical staff to determine the full extent of the injury.
It is not a major break, though, and was sustained in a non-contact incident.
