Jovetic picked up a hamstring injury during Manchester City's match against Stoke City on Saturday, according to Chronicle Live.

Jovetic came on for Alvaro Negredo in the 56th minute but had to come off just 13 minutes later. He is likely to miss this weekend's Capital One Cup final against Sunderland, but may be able to return the following week against Aston Villa.

Jovetic, who came on for an injured Sergio Aguero late in the first half, scored in the 78th minute of Wednesday's 5-1 rout of Tottenham.

Jovetic's goal was his first in league play this season, although it was also only his fourth appearance. He's battled a plethora of injuries this season, but he seems to be coming into form lately. It's certainly good timing for City, who could be without Aguero for a few matches due to the hamstring he injured Wednesday. If Aguero is forced to sit, Alvaro Negredo and Edin Dzeko will likely start up front, with Jovetic spelling either one of them.

Jovetic (hamstring) is available off the bench for Tuesday's Capital One Cup match against West Ham.

Jovetic has been sidelined by numerous injuries throughout the past few months, having last played for City in October. Alvaro Negredo and Sergio Aguero are starting up front Tuesday, and will likely continue to do so in Premier League play, with Edin Dzeko also ahead of Jovetic on the depth chart.

Jovetic (hamstring) is set to be fit for Tuesday's Capital One Cup match against West Ham, Sky Sports reports.

Jovetic hasn't played for City since October due to a number of injuries and issues, the latest of which is to his hamstring. He announced on his Instagram account that he would be 'back on Tuesday,' although the final call will come from manager Manuel Pellegrini.

Manager Manuel Pellegrini said that Jovetic (hamstring) could return soon. "Maybe next week he will be fit," the manager was quoted as saying.

Jovetic has battled a number of issues this season and has failed to live up to €27 million that City paid to bring in over from Fiorentina this past summer. Even when he does return to fitness, it's tough to see him playing over Sergio Aguero, Alvaro Negredo, or Edin Dzeko in Premier League play.

Jovetic (hamstring) will not be available for Wednesday's FA Cup match against Blackburn, but manager Manuel Pellegrini said he could be fit "next week," according to Rob Dawson of the Manchester Evening News.

Jovetic had a fair chance to get more playing time while Sergio Aguero sat with a calf injury, but numerous issues, such as his hamstring injury and an illness, have kept him off the pitch. With Aguero expected back Wednesday, it's tough to see where Jovetic fits, other than behind the Argentine, Alvaro Negredo, and Edin Dzeko.

Jovetic is still recovering from an illness, but has not been ruled out of Thursday's Premier League match against Liverpool, according to the Mirror.

With Sergio Aguero (calf) out for up to a month, Jovetic may finally be able to see some time on the pitch behind Alvaro Negredo and Edin Dzeko. That being said, City's other strikers have far more fantasy value given their health and more likelihood of starting.
