Manchester City dealt De Bruyne injury blow

Manchester City have enjoyed pretty much a perfect season so far, but they have been rocked by the news that Kevin De Bruyne is facing four weeks out through injury.

The Belgian has been a shining star for Pep Guardiola’s side this season, but he was forced out of their 3-1 win over Swansea City yesterday.

Initial reports claimed that he would miss about a month with a hamstring problem, meaning he would miss City’s Champions League clash with Celtic, along with international action.

However, Sportsmail understands City are not expecting to have a full prognosis of De Bruyne’s injury for at least the next 48 hours.

Guardiola said: ‘I think he is injured. We go back to Manchester tonight (Saturday), and he will be seen by a doctor tomorrow (Sunday). The way he reacted, it looked like muscular, but I am not a doctor.’

‘It’s a pity as Kevin is an important player for us. That’s why we have to have a big squad as everyone will help us.’

If it is confirmed that De Bruyne will indeed miss four weeks of action, then he is set to miss Premier League games against Tottenham, Everton and Southampton, Champions League clashes with Celtic and Barcelona, and Belgium’s World Cup Qualifying matches with Bosnia & Herzegovina and Gibraltar.
