Man City concern as Gundogan limps out of training

Ilkay Gundogan has handed Manchester City an injury scare ahead of Saturday's Champions League final against Chelsea.

The central midfielder appeared to take a bang on the thigh during a challenge with Fernandinho during City's training session at the Estadio Do Dragao.

Gundogan, who limped off, was an unused substitute for last weekend's 5-0 victory over Everton and Pep Guardiola will be left hoping Friday's issue is only an impact injury, says the Daily Mail.

The club's top scorer has been a crucial cog in Guardiola's midfield since the turn of the year. Gundogan is also the only squad member to have starred in this final before, when Borussia Dortmund lost against Bayern Munich at Wembley in 2013.
