Zinchenko undergoes successful surgery on knee as he posts picture from hospital

Aleks Zinchenko appears to have undergone a procedure in Barcelona after missing the last Manchester City fixture with a knee injury.

Zinchenko was initially ruled out of the win at Crystal Palace with illness, according to City, before the club tweeted that he had suffered a knee injury to keep him out of the win against Atalanta in the Champions League.

On Friday, Zinchenko then posted to Instagram from his hospital bed with the caption: "On the way back."

The post was tagged with the location as Barcelona, where City often use doctor Ramon Cugat to perform surgery on players with knee injuries.
