Fabian Delph withdrawn 18 minutes into Manchester City debut

A hamstring injury 18 minutes into Manchester City's clash against Real Madrid sees Fabian Delph's debut end in disaster.

Manchester City midfielder Fabian Delph has been stretchered off the field of play 18 minutes into his debut.

The England international, who performed a dramatic U-turn to join the Citizens last week, appeared to pull his hamstring at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Manuel Pellegrini handed the 25-year-old his first start for the International Champions Cup friendly meeting with Real Madrid, but disaster struck when Delph jarred his leg following a challenge with Luka Modric.

Jesus Navas was brought on in Delph's place, with City level against European giants Madrid at the time, but Los Blancos have since raced into a two-goal lead.
