Man City's Michael Johnson set to miss rest of season
Johnson has struggled with injuries during his time at City
Manchester City midfielder Michael Johnson could be out for the rest of the season after picking up a knee injury in training.
The 21-year-old had only recently returned to City's squad after missing almost a year of action with an abdominal problem.
Johnson is expected to find out the full extent of his injury in the next few days.
"We are all disappointed for Michael," said City boss Mark Hughes.
"He has worked so hard to get back into first-team contention and shown everyone what a good player he is."
606: DEBATE
I was praying that this season he would have been back as he has so much promise, possibly the most complete midfielder at the club. Feel for the guy

Hughes added: "Unfortunately he might be out for the season but he will receive the best possible care and attention."
Johnson, who has represented England Under-21s, has played 45 times for City but his career has been hampered by injury.
Since recovering from his long-term abdominal injury, Johnson has made two appearances for City this season and scored against Scunthorpe in his side's 5-1 defeat of Scunthorpe in the Carling Cup.
Hughes has included Johnson on the bench in recent games, but his only Premier League action this season has been as a 89th-minute replacement for Gareth Barry in City's 3-1 win over West Ham in August.
Johnson is a product of City's Academy and was captain of the team that finished runners-up in the 2006 FA Youth Cup.
