Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku is set to miss several weeks of action following a calf injury sustained during the Community Shield match against Arsenal (0:3).
The Belgian started the game but was substituted at halftime. Reports suggest there are concerns at Manchester City that the current injury may be linked to ongoing issues from the 2026 World Cup, where the player suffered from a respiratory infection and an ankle injury, which hampered his pre-season preparations.
It is confirmed that Doku will miss the opening round of the Premier League against Bournemouth. The club remains hopeful that this extended recovery period will allow him to fully overcome his health issues and return to peak fitness.
