FABIAN DELPH’S MANCHESTER City debut lasted just 18 minutes on Friday.
The midfielder pulled up with a hamstring injury early in City’s Melbourne friendly against Real Madrid and was stretchered off.
City described the injury as a “tweak” but took no chances as Delph was replaced by Jesus Navas.
The reaction towards Delph, who publicly committed to Aston Villa days before signing a five-year deal at City, was as unforgiving as you might expect:
Whoops!

90,000 fans packed into the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the pre-season friendly.
Goals from Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe and Denis Cheryshev helped Madrid to a 4-1 win.
