ISAKSSON FACING SPELL ON THE SIDELINES

Isaksson - hit by injury blow

Manchester City goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson will miss Sweden's Euro 2008 qualifiers against Latvia and Liechtenstein and has revealed he may be out for up to six weeks with a foot injury.

Isaksson has missed the first two games of the season for his new club after completing a £2million move from Rennes last week, and now needs surgery to remove some loose bone in his right foot.

The 24-year-old will travel to see a specialist in London, and hopes to return to training ahead of City's game against Reading on September 11, but added he could be out much longer.

"The surgeon says I must wait two to three weeks before I can start training again, but if they find anything else wrong in the foot, I may have to rest up to six weeks," Isaksson told the Expressen newspaper.
