Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has revealed that Fabian Delph is likely to be on the treatment table for around six weeks with a hamstring injury.
The midfielder was injured just nine seconds into England's Euro 2016 qualifier against Switzerland on Tuesday, which ended in a 2-0 victory for the Three Lions at Wembley.
During his weekly press conference, Pellegrini told reporters: "[For Delph], I don't know how long it will be, we'll see. I think at this moment it will be a month-and-a-half."
Delph, who signed for City from Aston Villa in the summer, had only recently returned from a similar injury that he suffered in pre-season in the summer.
Meanwhile, David Silva has been ruled out of Saturday's match against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park due to an ankle injury.
