​Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony has said that his time at Manchester City has been the 'worst spell of his career' after a string of injuries and a disrupted playing schedule behind number one choice Sergio Aguero when fit.





Aguero picked up an injury while on international duty though, and looks set to miss about a month of action - probably seven games, given City's hectic upcoming schedule - giving Bony a chance to finally impress.





Speaking to the ​club's website, he said: “It’s never good when your team-mates are injured but that’s the way football goes sometimes. “Now I need to take things game by game and work hard. I have to take my chance and score goals for the team – that’s why I’m here.





“A lot of crazy things have happened since I joined City and I’ve been ruled out with injury three or four times so it’s been hard to find any rhythm playing one or two games here and there."





He said that he never suffered anything like his recent injury issues when playing for Swansea before he moved to Manchester, and claimed that City fans could now see his real ability at last.





“It’s been the worst spell of my career without question – in the past five years I’d never missed more than two games in a row and at Swansea I only missed a handful of matches and that was mostly because of a red card I received.





“I’ve had nothing but bad luck in the past year, but hopefully, that’s the end of it now. It’s not been the best time for me in that respect and has been very frustrating, but hopefully the City fans will now see the new Bony. All I need is the first goal to come and hopefully many others will follow.”
