02/08/2010 - Manchester, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manchester City are waiting to discover how long Craig Bellamy faces on the sidelines after the striker suffered a knee injury during the 2-1 defeat at Hull City.
The 30-year-old Wales international was replaced on the hour mark at the KC Stadium and has traveled to London to seek out the opinion of a specialist.
City manager Roberto Mancini told the club's official website: "Craig is in London today, by tomorrow we should know how serious this injury is. At the moment I do not think it is too bad.
"He reported the problem after the game on Saturday and it was important that he was checked out as soon as possible.
"I know about Craig's injury problems in the past and I hope this does not turn out to be like his old injuries, but we will have to wait for the results from the doctor.
"If he is okay I would hope he is training again this week and available for Stoke."

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
