MANCHESTER, England — Manchester City signed Hungary international Marton Fulop on an emergency loan from Sunderland on Tuesday after goalkeeper Shay Given dislocated his shoulder.
Given injured his shoulder in Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Arsenal and, with backup goalkeeper Stuart Taylor already sidelined, City was left with Faroe Islands international Gunnar Nielsen as its only fit senior ‘keeper.
City failed in its attempts to recall Joe Hart, who is on loan at Birmingham, for the final three games of the Premier League season as it chases the fourth Champions League place.
Instead, the 26-year-old Fulop signed late Tuesday and is set to make his debut Saturday against Aston Villa, which is one point above City in fifth place — level on 64 points with fourth-place Tottenham.
Fulop is set to join City for training on Wednesday.
