Rayan Cherki will play no part in Manchester City’s Premier League fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion this Sunday after sustaining a thigh issue, reports **[L’Équipe.](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Forfait-pour-le-deplacement-de-manchester-city-a-brighton-rayan-cherki-est-incertain-avec-les-bleus/1588821)**
The 21-year-old joined City from Lyon earlier this summer and has enjoyed a bright start to life in England but will miss the clash at the Amex Stadium (15:00 local time). His injury also places in doubt his availability for France’s September international window.
Cherki earned his first senior France call-up in June, impressing and scoring during his debut camp under Didier Deschamps. However, his latest setback could see him sidelined for _Les Bleus’_ upcoming fixtures against Ukraine in Wroclaw on September 5th and Iceland at the Parc des Princes on September 9th.
