Alvaro Negredo is set to miss Manchester City's crucial trip to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Wednesday.
The Spanish striker still has his arm in a sling after falling heavily on his shoulder in last week's Capital One Cup semi-final second leg victory at West Ham United.
Scans have shown Negredo only suffered heavy bruising but the doctors have ordered him to rest to avoid risking any further damage.
Negredo's absence would be a huge miss at White Hart Lane, with the forward having banged in 23 goals so far in his debut season.
City are currently unbeaten in 19 games, in a sequence of 17 wins and two draws going back to the start of January, and are available at9.50to beat Spurs 2-1 at White Hart Lane.
Spurs, however, will be looking for payback after losing 6-0 at the Etihad earlier in the campaign, and are in good form themselves under new boss Tim Sherwood. Spurs are available at17.00to beat City 1-0 with Jermain Defoe8.00to open the scoring.
City have injury-plagued striker Stevan Jovetic on stand-by, having safely came through the final half-hour of Saturday's FA Cup victory over Watford.
The Montenegro international,6.50to open the scoring against Spurs, insists: "The problems have all gone. It hard to get into the team because we are playing so well and scoring so many goals, but I just want to be fit and ready to play my game."
