JAKARTA - Manchester City star Raheem Sterling suffered an injury when his team beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in the Primier League, Sunday, February 2 night. The England international is doubtful for facing Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League later this month.

Sterling left the field in the second half. According to a source at Marca, early indications suggested Sterling had a hamstring injury.

Pep Guardiola declined to comment on the player's injury. The former Barcelona boss confirmed the 25-year-old will undergo tests next week to assess the problem.

City will face Los Blancos in the Spanish capital in their first leg meeting on February 26. The second leg at the Etihad Stadium will be held March 10.

Meanwhile in the Premier League, Guardiola's men are currently 22 points behind leaders Liverpool. The reigning champions will face a difficult match ahead of their return to the Champions League.

They will host a team struggling their way out of the West Ham relegation zone next week, then travel to third-placed Leicester City before heading to Madrid.

City's chances of defending the Premier League title are also increasingly difficult. Sergio Aguero et al still have to face teams with winning traditions such as Manchester United and Chelsea, before facing Liverpool directly on April 4.

Meanwhile, the Reds' opponents were much lighter, such as Norwich City, West Ham United, Watford, Bournemouth, Everton and Crystal Palace.
