Manchester City midfielder Oscar Bobb is facing a significant period on the sidelines after suffering a fractured bone in his leg during a training session earlier this week.
The promising 21-year-old Norway international sustained the injury in a non-contact incident while turning, raising concerns about the potential impact on his season.
City’s medical team is currently evaluating the full extent of the injury, and there is speculation that Bobb may travel to Barcelona for further treatment, a move that highlights the seriousness of the situation.
Fans and teammates alike will undoubtedly be hoping for a swift recovery, as Bobb has shown great form during pre-season and established himself as an essential squad member.
Having joined Manchester City from Valerenga in 2019, Bobb’s development has been a testament to the club’s focus on nurturing young talent.
His recent performances, particularly during the Community Shield victory over Manchester United, where he played a commendable 89 minutes, demonstrated his readiness to contribute extensively in the upcoming season.
He had been tipped to play a crucial role in City’s Premier League opener against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this Sunday, especially with several international players only just returning to training.
Last season, Bobb made 26 appearances for City and solidified his place in the squad, earning a new five-year contract in February.
His progressive trajectory has been closely monitored by fans eager to see him flourish in the Premier League.
