City sweat over Berkovic's fitness
MANCHESTER CITY are sweating over the fitness of key midfielder Eyal Berkovic.
The former Southampton and Celtic ace was forced off at half-time in Saturday's defeat at Blackburn with stomach pains which have been troubling him for some time.
Berkovic has been unable to train fully with the injury for the past few weeks and the club feel the time is right to resolve the problem.
City have sent the Israeli international to Germany to see a specialist and find out the full extent of the injury.
The Maine Road outfit are hopeful that the injury is not too serious and that he will be back in action in a few weeks.
