Has almost 200 appearances with City. Just a year ago I couldn't even imagine him on the bench. But if there's a better club player than Zabs, please show him to me.
From my angle it looked like both players went in for the tackle and their knees collided. Unfortunately zab leg was planted on the ground and looked to twist.
Way too early to write him off. I await proper confirmation on what is wrong.

I hope it is that and not his cruciate.
It wouldn't make any difference mate. If you snap either medial or either cruciate ligament it's the same outcome.

Gutted for the big club man. Hope he's fine soon and ready to bombard down the right. Maybe he's not British but he's more an icon to this club than cruise ships full of British players will ever be to theirs.
Sagna like Kolarov need to try and keep playing. And that is physically not an easy job as backs need to run up and down the flank often the way we play.

Gutted for Zab, sure he'll be back latest New Year.
One bit of "good" news is I believe Otamendi can play at right back ( 2010 World Cup).

Has it been confirmed as his medial ligament?

If there's one man who can recover from a bad injury and fight to return and help the club win things it's Zabba. A big loss to us as Sagna has already had to play a lot of games without rotation... but Sagna has been excellent and we have other right back options in Otamendi and Maffeo if we want to go down that route.
