The Manchester City defender Micah Richards admits he could face up to four months on the sidelines after suffering a torn meniscus in his right knee against Swansea City on Saturday.

Richards required oxygen on the pitch after appearing to twist the knee unchallenged when turning to clear a cross in the 84th minute of the match at the Etihad Stadium, with the length of the treatment he required contributing to the match's record 12 minutes of added time.

"The positive thing is that the injury has been repaired so the knee will be as good as new," Richards told City's official website. "I have a brace on it and I am using crutches. I can't do anything at all for the next four to six weeks and I am probably looking at 12-16 weeks before I am back in action.

Unbelievably bad luck for the lad, the team and us. He really does not have much luck in the injury department does he? The 86th minute as well Mad

Still, on the bright side Zab is due back from injury for the next game Very Happy

But if he gets injured again before Micah is back playing we could be struggling and may have to play Cliche at RB with Kolarov at LB

Glass........simple as. Will be one of those players who will never fulfil their potential..........breaks down at the slightest touch..or in this case, no-one around him.

Shame.....was just looking like the Micah of old.....after another 2 month lay-off.

Yeah, and he seems to be as injury prone as Micah.

Oh shit, just remembered Zab's injured too. So unless he puts Milner there, we're definately gonna be playing 3 at the back this weekend affraid
