Mancini troubled by Johnson absence
Manchester City manager Roberton Mancini is starting to discover the cost of Adam Johnson's ankle injury.
Johnson hurt himself in training at the end of January, giving manager Roberto Mancini barely any time to find a replacement.
Although the 23-year-old did not always get on with his manager, Mancini retained a healthy respect for Johnson, and was always aware of the talent that could unlock defences.
"After Adam Johnson got injured we had a big problem because he is different to the other players," said Mancini.
"We don't have anyone else like that but he won't be back for another month."
