Kevin De Bruyne, who has fully recovered and returned to the team for a few weeks, is once again forced to say goodbye to the ball.
In Thursday's English League Cup match, the Belgian injured his left knee. He had played less than 10 minutes until the end of the match.
After today's tests, it was revealed that the footballer strained the ligaments of the mentioned knee, so he will be forced to miss matches for five to six weeks. It is emphasized that he will not need any surgery.
K. De Bruyne also suffered a knee injury in August, but at that time the ligament problems were on the right knee side. According to initial forecasts, the Belgian was supposed to return to the field just now, but he managed to play a few matches and, as it turned out now, suffer another injury.
So far this season, De Bruyne, who has been relatively successful in terms of health problems, has been replaced by Bernardo Silva.
K. De Bruyne will be forced to miss the Manchester derby on November 11th.
