Manchester City forward Robinho is a major doubt for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash against Arsenal with a thigh injury. The former Real Madrid man picked up the injury in Brazil's 3-1 win over Argentina. A scan later confirmed a strain to Robinho's right thigh. Robinho will miss Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Chile. Brazil's press officer Rodrigo Paiva said: "Robinho is out of the game but will stay with us." The 25-year-old forward missed Manchester City's last match at Portsmouth with an ankle knock.
