Man City suffer major blow as £50m Nico Gonzalez suffers injury 20 minutes into debut Manchester City star Nico Gonzalez suffered an injury blow just 20 minutes into his debut for the club, with Pep Guardiola forced to withdraw the £50m man during the first half of the FA Cup game against Leyton Orient.
City eventually came from behind to win, with Abdukodir Khusanov and Kevin De Bruyne getting the goals, but now face a wait on Gonzalez as they prepare to take on Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League play-off on Tuesday.
Nico Gonzalez was brought in to add a bit of a clout in that Manchester City midfield," pundit Chris Sutton said on BBC Radio 5 Live.
Gonzalez was one of three new signings added to Guardiola's Champions League squad, and the manager will hope the injury isn't too serious.
Gonzalez was involved in a clash with Orient's Sonny Perkins in the lead-up to the goal, though no free-kick was awarded, and Jamie Donley's long-range effort hit the bar before going in off the back of visiting keeper Stefan Ortega.
