Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has confirmed that goalkeeper Shay Given could be ruled out for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury.
Republic of Ireland international Given is seeing a specialist about the problem today and Mancini expects him to require surgery that will sideline him until the end of the season.
"Shay has this problem in his shoulder and I think he needs three months to recover," Mancini said. "He has the same injury that he had last year and I think that he needs an operation."
