Manchester City can confirm that winger Leroy Sane sustained ankle ligament damage during the FA Cup win over Cardiff.

The Germany international was substituted off at half-time following a challenge from Bluebirds player Joe Bennett.

Sane has since undergone scans that confirm the 22-year-old is set for a spell on the sidelines - although no timeline has yet been set for his return.

Sane has scored 11 goals and produced 14 assists in all competitions this season - everyone at City wishes him a speedy recovery, and we’ll keep you updated on his recovery here on mancity.com.
