Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko sidelined for around three weeks

Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko has been sidelined for up to three weeks with a calf injury.

The 28-year-old suffered the problem on Saturday during City's 2-2 draw away to Queens Park Rangers in the Premier League.

Dzeko, who has been ruled out of Bosnia-Herzegovina's upcoming trip to Israel in Euro 2016 qualifying, could now be back in action at the start of December.

"It's a very serious injury and requires the kind of treatment whose time-frame unfortunately rules out a quick return," Bosnia team doctor Reuf Karabeg is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

Dzeko has scored four goals in 18 games for City so far this season.
