Bravo, 35, has been sent out to Barcelona for further tests on Thursday with fears he could be out for the season.

A statement on City's Twitter account said: "[Bravo] underwent scans this afternoon which have confirmed a rupture in the tendon of his left foot."

Pep Guardiola promoted 20-year-old Daniel Grimshaw to the first-team as the third-choice option between the posts.

And the youngster may be in the limelight even sooner than anticipated.
