Guardiola indicates Man City star Torres could be out until 2022 with metatarsal blow

Pep Guardiola fears Ferran Torres could be sidelined until January after the Manchester City forward fractured the fourth metatarsal in his right foot.

The 21-year-old suffered the injury in Spain s 2-1 Nations League semi-final victory over Italy but managed to play through the pain for 84 minutes in the 2-1 defeat by France in the final.

Scans conducted upon Torres return to Manchester revealed a small fracture, and Guardiola suggested it could be a long wait before he plays again.

Torres will be out for two months and a half, three months, Guardiola told a news conference on Friday.

Except Ferran, the rest of the team are OK. The injury is the fourth metatarsal.
