Manchester City defender Micah Richards is facing a month on the sidelines after pulling a hamstring playing for the U21s against Denmark.
The 22-year-old hobbled off after just five minutes of the friendly for next summer’s European Championships.
It is a massive blow for the player, as he has shown glimpses of his full potential during the campaign, and the club, who face a tense finish to the season.
The Blues are chasing fourth spot in the Premier League to ensure Champions League qualification and an Fa Cup semi-final against fierce rivals Manchester United on April 16.
Richards could be facing four weeks on the sidelines meaning he is in a race to be fit for the Wembley showdown.
The powerful right-back has played 25 games for the club this season scoring three times. Jerome Boateng is expected to deputise in his absence.
