Oscar Bobb injury could focus Man City minds on £100m star who’s ‘keen to join them’

Manchester City could increase their efforts to sign Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle after Oscar Bobb suffered a serious injury in training.

The 21-year-old Norway international fractured a bone in his leg in a non-contact situation when he was turning.

City are set to assess the full extent of the injury and it is possible he will fly to Barcelona to have further treatment.

Bobb, who joined City from Valerenga in 2019, has impressed for Pep Guardiola s side during pre-season and played 89 minutes of the Community Shield win against Manchester United.

Bobb was expected to feature in their Premier League opener against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday with a number of City’s international players having only just returned to training this week,
