Manchester City keeper Claudio Bravo slammed by Manchester United legend Gary Neville after going off on a stretcher because of injury

It was an injury that seemed to sum up the Chilean's first season at the Etihad.

In what should be one of a goalkeeper's most simple tasks, he came to collect a corner unchallenged when the setback occurred.

After claiming the ball, he appeared to grimace in pain as he strode forward to kick it upfield - it was his calf that appeared to be the problem, and he felt he was unable to continue as he dropped to the turf.

But Neville, who who was on co-commentary with Sky Sports, was not impressed.

He said: "A stretcher for a calf strain... please. Oh come on.

"He'd not done anything for 20, 25 minutes, he'd not been involved and then he's leaped with his left leg for that catch from the last corner.

"I'm not quite sure why there's a stretcher on. It's a calf strain. Am I missing something? You don't need a stretcher on for a calf strain. Please.

"He kicked the ball forward after that. Come on. I apologise if he hasn't got a calf strain."

Medical staff were quickly on the scene and a stretcher soon appeared as he was carried from the field.

And with only five matches left of the campaign, this could well be the last we see of the former Barcelona stopper before next season.

Argentinian Willy Caballero came off the bench to replace the 34-year-old between the sticks against the Red Devils in the clash which eventually finished in a goalless draw.

And he now looks likely to line up between the sticks for Sunday's trip to Middlesbrough as his side continue to try and claim a top four spot.

Youngster Angus Gunn, an England Under-21 international, is the most likely to be called up into the first-team squad to act as No2 for the remainder of the campaign.

Bravo has been much-maligned since replacing Joe Hart at City last summer after making a number of high-profile mistakes.
