Manchester City suffer injury scare as defender Nathan Ake limps off after just SIX minutes into the Netherlands' friendly with Spain

Pep Guardiola and Manchester City have suffered an injury scare after centre-back Nathan Ake limped off in the early stages of the Netherlands' friendly against Spain.

After just six minutes on the clock the 25-year-old collapse onto the turf and clutch the back of right leg after an apparent innocuous back pass to his goalkeeper Marco Bizot.

The City defender was not able to continue and was duly replaced by Daley Blind with what appeared to be a potential hamstring injury.
