Manchester City's new defender Martin
Demichelis has suffered a knee injury and is set to be out for six
weeks, Sky sources understand.
The Argentine international signed for City over the weekend after finalising a move from Atletico Madrid - a club he never actually played for following an earlier summer switch from Malaga.
The 32-year-old was reunited with his former boss Manuel Pellegrini, who will be disappointed to learn that he is unlikely to be able to use him until November.
Demichelis suffered the injury in training and immediately underwent scans following the incident, but that has shown that surgery will not be required.
