Manchester City fans are far from happy after it was revealed Liam Delap has a significant injury, although it is not sure when he will return to the action.

Delap is a highly-rated youngster at the Etihad Stadium. Last term, he scored 30 goals in all competitions for the club's development squad (Transfermarkt) and, with the departure of Sergio Aguero on a free transfer, there was hope in some quarters that he could break into the first-team squad and pick up some serious minutes.

However, he is yet to play a single minute for the senior side this term under Pep Guardiola, and he has now been dealt a further blow. As per EDS Coach Brian Barry-Murphy, the 18-year-old is on a list of several players who have significant injuries and it is not sure when he will be available.

The news was shared on Twitter by @City_Xtra, and it attracted plenty of attention from the supporters. They took to the social media platform to share their thoughts.
