Marmoush injury adds to Manchester City’s woes

Egypt forward Omar Marmoush could miss Sunday’s Manchester derby after the Manchester City player suffered a knee ligament injury while on international duty.

Marmoush was due to have an X-ray on his arrival in Cairo on Wednesday after he was substituted in the fourth minute of Egypt’s goalless draw with Burkina Faso in a World Cup qualifier in Ouagadougou on Tuesday.

He sustained the injury following a tackle and tried to play on but eventually had to limp off.

The Egyptian Football Association said in a statement that the national team doctor had “confirmed that Omar Marmoush’s injury is a bruised knee ligament, and the player will undergo an X-ray upon his arrival in Cairo on Wednesday morning.”

City host Manchester United on Sunday with both sides needing a win after unconvincing starts to the new Premier League season.

Marmoush, 26, has scored eight goals in 28 games for City in all competitions since joining from Eintracht Frankfurt in a £59 million ($79.8 million) transfer in January.
