Sevilla hit with injury blow for vital City showdown

A hamstring strain has ruled forward Kevin Gameiro out of the Champions League match against Manchester City, although he could be back to face Real Madrid.

Sevilla striker Kevin Gameiro will miss his club's pivotal Champions League Group D meeting against Manchester City on Tuesday due to a hamstring injury.

Gameiro sustained hamstring strain during the closing stages of Saturday's 2-1 Liga defeat at Villarreal.

A statement on Sevilla's official website confirmed the nature of the 28-year-old forward's injury, ruling him out of the City match but not next weekend's clash with Real Madrid at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
