Man City's Fernandinho to miss game vs. Arsenal with hamstring injury

Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho has been ruled out of the Premier League game against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday after straining a hamstring in the Carabao Cup final.

The Brazil international went off injured in the 52nd minute of Sunday's 3-0 victory over Arsenal at Wembley Stadium and the teams' league game will happen too soon for his return.

"The initial prognosis suggests the problem isn't serious," said a statement on the club's website.

Fernandinho, 32, has played in all of City's 27 league matches so far this season, starting all but one.

Last month, he signed a two-year contract extension to remain with the club until summer 2020.
