Fryatt travelled to London this week to see a specialist and was given an injection in the area of concern, but City manager Steve Bruce says it will be a while before last season’s top scorer can resume full training.
“Matty has seen the specialist and had an injection into his Achilles, which isn’t very nice,” said Bruce.
“He’s got to stay off that Achilles for three or four days now and then it’s a matter of in two or three weeks’ time, seeing where he is then.”
