efender Micah Richards of "Man City", who suffered a serious injury, will be out of the lineup for up to four months.

The 24-year-old footballer, who got injured in Saturday's match against "Swansea", underwent a meniscus operation. After that, he will undergo rehabilitation, which will cause the Englishman to miss about twenty matches.

"I won't be able to do anything for the next four to six weeks, and I will only return to the field in about four months," comforted Richards. "I am just glad that the operation went well, so there shouldn't be any remaining complications."

In addition to Richards, "Man City" will face the remaining three Champions League matches, as well as the Manchester derby against "Man Utd", which will take place on December 9th.
