Edin Dzeko: Dealing with Back Injury
Dzeko felt soreness in his back following Manchester City's Champions League match at Bayern Munich on Wednesday, but he is expected to be available for Sunday's Premier League match against Chelsea, manager Manuel Pellegrini said Friday.
Analysis:
Stevan Jovetic has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, leaving Dzeko to likely come off the bench against Chelsea, with Sergio Aguero in the starting XI. Dzeko has yet to score this season, but he gets enough playing time that his first score will come sooner rather than later.
