Elliot Anderson left the pitch after 63 minutes during Manchester City's 2-1 victory over Bournemouth. The midfielder appeared to sustain a leg knock from a collision with Bournemouth's Alex Scott but was later reported to be suffering from cramp instead of a serious injury. Manager Enzo Maresca stated that multiple players are not at full fitness after returning from World Cup duties. City's next match is against Crystal Palace on Friday night, and there is hope that Anderson will be available.
