Manchester City’s start to the season has seen many tipping them to win the title this year, even after just three games.
But after a picture emerged of Wilfried Bony wearing a protective cast around his foot, it may well be that Manuel Pellegrini is forced into buying another striker.
So far, Sergio Aguero has been City’s main man up front, but given the Argentine’s injury record over recent seasons, it is unlikely that the club will not look at options in this department.
It could be that Kevin De Bruyne’s imminent arrival from Wolfsburg is enough, but with days to go in the transfer window, another signing can’t be ruled out.
