Manchester City has received some good news, after scans revealed Ilkay Gundogan’s shoulder injury is not serious.

The midfielder sustained the injury in a collision during last weekend’s Premier League match against Tottenham.

There were concerns that the shoulder issue could leave City with a midfield problem, as Phil Foden is still out injured.

However, it’s unclear whether Gundogan will be fit enough to play in this weekend’s EPL match against Norwich.
