# Manchester City: Sky Blues erupt over Marco Verratti latest

**Flocking to Twitter, many Manchester City supporters have erupted over some news involving Paris-Saint Germain star Marco Verratti.**

Pep Guardiola has overseen a magnificent start to the Sky Blues’ campaign so far with his side going on an impressive unbeaten after losing their first game of the season to Tottenham.

Given some of the brilliant all-round performances since then, including a [1-0 victory away to table-toppers Chelsea](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58606479), City’s opening day defeat seems like a lifetime ago.

The Champions League remains one hurdle to overcome at Eastlands for Guardiola and he faces a very challenging group, including last year’s semi-final opponents Paris-Saint Germain, Belgian champions Club Brugge and Bundesliga giants RB Leipzig.

However, in what could be a boost for City as they gear up for their next outing against PSG later next month, some news has emerged on Italy international star Verratti.

The 28-year-old, as confirmed by the Ligue 1 side (via [Football Italia](https://football-italia.net/verratti-out-against-switzerland-and-man-city/)), may now miss their trip to Manchester due to a hip injury – with Verratti sustaining ‘a deep lesion in the oblique muscles’ – he be out for four weeks.

Flocking to this news, it’s safe to say many fans see this is a mighty boost for City as they aim to conquer Group A.
