Zabaleta blow for City

30 September 2010 23:00
Roberto Mancini has confirmed Pablo Zabaleta will miss Manchester City's Premier League clash with Newcastle on Sunday. The Argentinean defender suffered a hamstring strain during the 1-1 Europa League draw with Juventus at Eastlands which Mancini believes is serious enough to make sure he is not involved against the Magpies. "It is a hamstring," said Mancini. "I do not believe it is serious but he won't play on Sunday."
