Latest Man City injury news and return dates as Savinho worry emerges after Chelsea win
Manchester City picked up where they left off in the Premier League on Sunday as they won 2-0 at Chelsea. Goals from Erling Haaland and Mateo Kovacic meant City extended their impressive run against the West Londoners with 10 straight games with defeat.
Pep Guardiola's men never got out of second gear at Stamford Bridge as they came up against a Chelsea team that lacked confidence and cohesion. Enzo Maresca's men, who had six summer signings in their squad, showed glimpses of quality, but City defended exceptionally.
It's one game and one win from 38 for City in what's expected to be another nail-biting title race with Arsenal this season. Despite the positive result and performance, City sadly left the capital with an injury concern. Here, MEN Sport has examined the latest injury news connected to Pep Guardiola's side.

What we know: Savinho made his Premier League debut against Chelsea and was a problem for Marc Cucurella. However, after receiving treatment late in the first-half for a knee problem, the summer signing was replaced at half-time by Phil Foden.
Speaking after the win, Guardiola confirmed the Brazilian's issue isn't a 'big' problem. "Some disruption in the knee. He said he knows perfectly why, had it in the past," said the City chief.
"He has to solve it and it’s a question of a lack of preparation, a lack of training sessions. Apparently it’s not a big, big problem. Will be ready for hopefully next Saturday."
Potential return date: Ipswich Town - Saturday August 24
Injury: Fractured leg
