Manchester City suffer huge blow as Kevin De Bruyne faces up to THREE MONTHS out after damaging knee ligaments in training - just hours after he was pictured in the gym lifting weights

Manchester City were dealt a significant blow on Wednesday after Kevin De Bruyne suffered a serious knee injury in training.
Sportsmail understands there are fears De Bruyne has torn a lateral ligament in his right knee and City are worried their playmaker could miss up to three months.
The 27-year-old will undergo further tests to examine the extent of the damage but the news comes as a bitter pill for Pep Guardiola.

De Bruyne was pictured in the gym during a morning session as he worked out with his team-mates using weights and improving his leg strength.
But he sustained the injury during an afternoon session once Manchester City had taken to the field.
The injury is similar to that sustained in 2016 when De Bruyne missed nine weeks after twisting awkwardly when challenging Everton’s Ramiro Funes Mori.

In that game - a League Cup semi-final - De Bruyne was stretched off in injury time, with the then Everton goalkeeper Joel Robles forced to apologise after the game as he tried to pull the Belgian up, believing he was just wasting time

He returned later than most to the squad following Belgium's run to third place at World Cup
Guardiola failed to land a midfielder this summer and last week saw Douglas Luiz have a work permit application rejected.
City do, however, possess other options. Bernardo Silva, David Silva, Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan can all operate further forward in their midfield three.

De Bruyne – who is part of City’s five-man senior player committee - had explained to the BBC earlier in the day how he has matured under Guardiola.
‘I have grown into it, being a leader,’ he said. ‘When I came here I was not the player that I am now, I did not have the same view. I came from Germany, I didn't succeed before in England (with Chelsea).

‘When you do well, you train hard, you work hard, you get more leadership on the field. I try to do everything in my power to win the game. I am more relaxed than Vinny (Kompany) but I try to do everything to win.’

He had just been getting back to full fitness following his late return to the squad in the wake of Belgium's run to third place at the World Cup.

The 27-year-old came off the bench with 30 minutes to go at the Emirates on Sunday as his City side dispatched Arsenal with a comfortable 2-0 win.

Doubt he will be the only one across the league as we go through the next few weeks, what with no break between world cup and new season
 
Huge blow if they are saying 3+ months. It's takes time to come back from a knee injury and you're never really the same straight away. Rivals have got what they wanted. De bruyne is a massive game changer so it is a big blow

I remember when Sane got injured against Cardiff in the FA Cup last season SSN were a disgrace, on the yellow breaking news bar they said he would be out for 6 months and miss the rest of the season and the WC. Hopefully this isn't as bad as is being hyped up.
 
One small consolation is that it occurred before 31st August so we can hold on to the likes of Foden and Diaz, who might conceivably have been going abroad on loan.

Sterling almost certainly went for his cruciate so it'll be at least 6 months.
 
What's the standard wait time to discover such things? I can't mind since the last time such a thing happened.
 
Shame for the lad as he was enjoying it big time. I think no rush in getting him back. Bernardo has looked good so far this season. No great time in getting the injuries but we are a stronger squad than before. In a way were covered where KDB plays just hope nothing major happens to Fernadhino.
 
Hopefully not as bad as some are saying.... but as tests haven’t been done yet.... there’s always a chance it could be worse !!

Fingers crossed

Scudsmore will be pouring himself a few large wines tonight

Luckily it's not an ACL, but one of the less serious ones. Seem to remember Kevin came back from his last one after 2 and a half months out and then carried us to the champs league semi finals.
