De Bruyne injury - Back in Training (p89)

The injury highlights how precarious are position is having not secured a back up to fern. God forbid fern incurred an injury I suspect de bruyne not stones would have been asked to drop deep. Depending on the length of time he will be out and who we may play, it will be important that fern is rotated carefully. Whatever way you look at it, the length of the injury may have a knock on effect in relation to how we set up or how or if where going to rotate those who can play as are number 8s.
exactly.
 
Years gods. Talk about melt down. 5 pages in almost as many minutes. He didn't play against Chelsea or Arsenal remember.
 
Who said 2 months ... was on page 1 and now he’s deleted it??

Original statement by CityWatch on twitter says this only ...

“City Watch understands Kevin De Bruyne sustained a serious injury in training today.

The full extent is unknown but it has been described to us as similar to the one he picked up against Everton in 2016.”

And the story put in MEN quickly after that only quotes them and says awaiting confirmation from the club (Stuart Brennan on Twitter)
 
If that's the time frame we're worried it might be it's almost certainly MCL. Jesus and Kevin both were out for 2 months, leg slightly longer. Not a disaster, but let's hope it's not that bad. Calling Dr Cugat.

Things just got very interesting r.e. Foden...

No ones having a meltdown but when any team loses arguably their best player for a sizeable amount of time then fans will discuss it!
 
Every cloud has a silva lining.

Seriously though, this is a huge huge blow.
 
On the bright side, the two Silva's will fuck shit up.
 
The only crumb of positivity I can draw from this is I think it may galvanise the squad even further, much like when Mendy was out. Further like Mendy and aguero before him we've been here before, it will be interesting to see just how good this squad really is. It will be difficult for our foes in the media to undermine are quality if we come through the period he is out. If there is not a miraculous recovery, I will take a draw in Oct 18.
