Soccer-Man City new boy Demichelis ruled out for six weeks

Sept 6 (Reuters) - Manchester City's new signing Martin Demichelis will be sidelined for around six weeks with a knee injury sustained in training, the English Premier League team said on Friday. "The club doctor confirmed a scan last night revealed ligament damage but that surgery was not required," City said on their website (www.mcfc.co.uk). Argentine Demichelis, who only left Atletico Madrid on Sunday, joins a growing list of injured defenders at City who are also without Vincent Kompany and Micah Richards.
