Boateng (l) has made 24 appearances for Man City this season<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Manchester City full-back Jerome Boateng will require surgery after suffering a knee injury on duty with the German national team.<\/b><\/p>\n

Boateng picked up the problem in the warm-up for Saturday’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Kazakhstan. <\/p>\n

The 22-year-old flew back to Manchester on Monday for treatment. <\/p>\n

The injury is a fresh blow to City’s hopes of Champions League qualification after already losing right-back Micah Richards to a hamstring problem. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Boateng, a \u00a310.5m signing from Hamburg in June 2010, did not make his City debut until late September because of injury but has since made 24 appearances for the Blues. <\/p>\n

He was sent back to Manchester after being ruled out of Germany’s friendly with Australia tomorrow. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Richards is to install an oxygen chamber in his house in a bid to be fit for City’s FA Cup semi-final with Manchester United on April 16. <\/p>\n

Richards is a major doubt after he was stretchered off during England Under-21’s 4-0 thrashing of Denmark on Thursday. <\/p>\n

“I will do anything and everything to be ready for that game,” Richards said. “I knew straight away what I had done because I heard the dreaded ping. It is a bit sore but I’m hoping it is not too bad. <\/p>\n

“Some of the other lads have used an oxygen tent to help them recover more quickly from injuries so I am willing to give it a go. <\/p>\n

“I will sleep in the thing if necessary. I want to be available for that game against United. It is going to be a great occasion.” <\/p>\n

City are chasing seeking their first appearance in a major final since 1981. <\/p>\n

In the league, they currently occupy the fourth Champions League qualification spot, but are 10 points behind leaders United and only four points ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham, who have a game in hand.\n<\/p>\n
