Manchester City youngster Brahim Diaz plays down injury concerns

Manchester City youngster Brahim Diaz has played down concerns over his fitness after being substituted against Oxford United on Tuesday night.

The 18-year-old was handed a starting role for City's EFL Cup clash with the League One outfit, but the playmaker was withdrawn early in the second half.

Diaz had earlier picked up a knock, but the teenager has taken to social media to reassure supporters about any injury issues.

So great to be back on the pitch, we got what we deserved! And don't worry about my substitution, I feel very good and I am not injured! 💙 pic.twitter.com/ssMSnxfS3G
