The Citizens recorded a 2-0 win over Cardiff to book their place in the fifth round.

City boss Pep Guardila also spoke about Sane’s injury to reporters.
“He is injured. He will be six or seven weeks out,” Gundogan stated
Fortunately for City, Gundogan managed to escape the game without any major damage. The 26-year-old missed a year of football due to a knee injury last year and has only recently made a full recovery.
