Alvaro Negredo: Manchester City Striker Out With Broken Foot

Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo has broken his foot and says he will be out of action for “a few months”.

The 28-year-old, injured in a friendly against Hearts on Friday, revealed the news on Instagram along with a picture of his right foot in a protective boot.

“I want to let you know that it’s going to be hard for the next few months,” he wrote. “I fractured my 5th metatarsal and will be out a few months.

“I will be back stronger than ever. I will return with a vengeance.”

City manager Manuel Pellegrini was willing to listen to offers for the Spain international, who was not part of their World Cup sqiad.

But Negredo said last week: “I don’t want to leave City. I’m very happy and very settled here.

“I had a difficult end to the season and that’s why there has been a lot of talking but I’ve been very happy here from the first day I arrived.”

Negredo scored 26 goals before the end of January after signing from Sevilla in the summer of 2013.

But a shoulder injury, combined with a loss of form, led to 16 scoreless appearances.

Negredo limped out of City’s 2-1 friendly win at Tynecastle shortly before half-time.

The club are due to fly to Kansas for the start of their pre-season tour of the United States on Monday.
