Jeremy Doku sidelined for several weeks with calf injury for Manchester City
Summary

Jeremy Doku is set to miss several weeks due to a calf injury sustained in Manchester City's 3-0 FA Community Shield defeat to Arsenal. Doku, who played 45 minutes before being replaced, was seen with ice on his calf post-match. His injury adds to concerns for City as they prepare for their opening Premier League match against Bournemouth, as the team now seeks to strengthen its winger options. Reports indicate that Doku's injury is related to earlier issues during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he faced an ankle injury and a respiratory infection. Enzo Maresca's side may look to Antoine Semenyo and Rayan Cherki to fill the void left by Doku's absence.
