Guardiola and Man City sweating on Mahrez injury

Pep Guardiola is waiting to discover the severity of Riyad Mahrez's ankle injury after the Manchester City attacker hobbled off against Bayern Munich.

Club-record signing Mahrez was substituted in the 28th minute due to ankle problem in City's 3-2 win over Bayern at the International Champions Cup on Saturday.

Mahrez, who arrived from Leicester City in a £60 million ($79m) deal, went down early under a challenge and the Algeria star failed to shake off the problem before the half-hour mark in Miami.

"I don't know [the extent]. I wasn't in the locker room," Guardiola told reporters.
