Mikel Arteta was pictured covering his face as he arrived for training following yesterday's post-Manchester derby bust-up.
The Spaniard was hit in the head - allegedly by a bottle thrown by United striker Romelu Lukaku - and suffered a bad cut.
And he was sure to shield himself from the waiting photographers at the training ground.
Arteta was driving a Chevrolet as City began their preparations for Wednesday's Premier League clash at Swansea.

Mourinho was also confronted by Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson, who is alleged to have physically prevented him from reaching the City dressing room.
The Portuguese was reportedly struck by a plastic bottle himself, with the FA yet to speak on the matter, though disciplinary proceedings are likely to follow this week.
