What are the latest reports on Oscar Bobb's injury?

Yesterday it was announced that Oscar Bobb suffered a broken leg on the eve of the new season. Jack Gaughan broke the news of the Norwegian international's injury via X. As things stand, the young winger is likely to be sidelined for a while at the start of the 24/25 season. Here's a look at the latest reports on the injury to one of Manchester City's most promising young talents.

Sam Lee has reported for The Athletic that Oscar Bobb was injured during training yesterday. In addition, Lee reports that Manchester City hope to have Bobb back on the pitch before the end of 2024. Lee further reports that initial examinations of the injury indicate that it is not a serious fracture.

Simon Mullock has reported for the Mirror that Manchester City are considering sending Oscar Bobb to Barcelona to have the injury examined by renowned specialist Dr. Ramon Cugat. Mullock adds that the injury is probably not as serious as initially thought, which is in line with what Sam Lee has reported for the Athletic.

This is the latest update on Oscar Bobb's condition. His broken leg may not be as bad as first feared, which seems to be good news in an unfortunate situation. It is still a blow for Manchester City to lose the young winger early in the season, considering his strong pre-season form for the World Cup winners. Bobb looked destined to play a big role for Pep Guardiola's side this season, and now he faces a delayed start to the 24/25 campaign. A further update on Bobb's condition is expected from Pep Guardiola when he faces the media on Friday.
