Hamann out for up to three months


City have been dealt a blow with the news that Didi Hamann will be out of action for up to 3 months with a toe injury.

The picked up the knock in training on Monday, and Mark Hughes this morning told us:

"Didi kicked a ball in training yesterday with the end of a toe, and unfortunately it looks like he may have ruptured a tendon.

"He
will go over to Zurich today to see a surgeon that he has seen with a
similar injury before. The feeling is that it is the same thing that
has happened before.

"The best case scenario is that it will be
nine weeks, but it could be 12. Obviously it is a blow for Didi, we are
a bit light in midfield areas so we could have done without this. Until
the surgeon looks at him we can't say whether we may have better news
on it."

But there is better news on Robinho, the striker missed
out with a further ankle problem for the Blues’ last game against
Forest but should be fully fit for Wigan after further rest with last
Saturday’s postponement.

Mark continues: “Robbie would have been
close to playing last weekend, he definitely would have played some
part. He trained yesterday and will train for the rest of the week.”

The
other recent injury concern, Shaun Wright-Phillips, is still doubtful
after the hamstring strain sustained in the FA Cup defeat:

“Shaun
was out with the fitness guys yesterday and did a session, but
obviously he is not at full tilt yet. We’ll build him up towards the
weekend, but it is still quite early after a hamstring injury, but we
will give him every chance and hopefully he will be a option.”
