THE FUSE

Speaking on Friday during his pre-match press conference before City's Premier League opener against Bournemouth this Sunday, Maresca confirmed the extent of the damage. 'At the moment, the only one (unavailable) is Doku. Matheus (Nunes) is back, and the rest are all okay. Unfortunately in the last game at half-time he was complaining about a calf pain. In any case, the idea was to play for 45 minutes. At the moment it looks like two to three weeks (out), no more than that,' Maresca said, in quotes reported by news agency Hayters.
