Kevin de Bruyne: Man City midfielder suffers knee injury in training Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne is having tests on a right knee injury suffered in training on Wednesday.
City said the extent of the injury suffered by the 27-year-old Belgium midfielder is "not yet known".
In 2016, he missed 12 games after injuring his right knee during an EFL Cup semi-final victory over Everton.
De Bruyne was City's player of the season last term, scoring 12 goals and providing 21 assists as his side won the Premier League and EFL Cup.
City, who began their title defence with a 2-0 victory at Arsenal, next play Huddersfield at home on Sunday.
They then face matches away to Wolves and at home to Newcastle before an international break.
Their fifth match of the season is at home to Fulham on 15 September, with their first Champions League group game to take place on 18 or 19 September.
City broke several records in 2017-18, including reaching 100 points, winning 32 matches and scoring 106 goals.
As per @City_Watch De Bruyne tore lateral ligament in his right knee in training today. More tests tomorrow, but KDB expects to be out for 9-12 weeks.
B. Silva 應該算好彩 如果齊team真係有排爭 前面 b silva/mahrez, sterling/sane, jesus/aguero。 依家打落一格正選落場機會就大好多。

City confirm the first diagnosis of De Bruyne’s injury (three months, lateral ligament) but he himself is hoping to be back in the team in little over two months. Doctors believe it will be 2-3 months, depending on how he recovers (he’s a fast healer) and the type of treatment.
