Man City star carried off in tears after horror injury during Nations League clash

Manchester City defender Nathan Ake was forced off in the first half in flood of tears during the Netherlands’ Nations League clash with Germany after suffering an injury

Manchester City’s Nathan Ake was seen being stretchered off the pitch, visibly upset, during the Netherlands’ UEFA Nations League match against Germany.

Ake was replaced by Jurrien Timber just before half-time due to what seemed to be a hamstring injury. His team-mate Cody Gakpo was spotted signalling for medical assistance when it became apparent that Ake couldn’t carry on.

The City star is the latest Premier League player to sustain an injury during the September international break. Arsenal are also concerned about two of their players, Italy’s Riccardo Calafiori and Norway’s Martin Odegaard.

Pep Guardiola and his team will now anxiously await news on the severity of Ake’s injury. City’s next Premier League game is against Brentford on Saturday, followed by a clash with Arsenal on September 22.
