**Manchester City have confirmed that Vivianne Miedema will miss the start of the season after sustaining a knee injury.**
The Dutch international picked up the injury in training, although City have confirmed that the issue is separate from the previous knee injuries Miedema has experienced.
The 30-year-old is now working with the club’s medical staff as she looks to return to action as soon as possible.
City did not provide a timescale for Miedema’s recovery but confirmed she will be unavailable for the start of the new campaign.
