DE BRUYNE RULED OUT>>ON INJURY(SPORTSVIBER)

De Bruyne is expected to fly to Barcelona to begin treatment on his knee injury

Kevin De Bruyne is expected to fly to Barcelona today to begin treatment on his knee injury.

The Manchester City star damaged knee ligaments in training on Wednesday morning, and the club said that they will not know the full extent of the damage until swelling reduces in the next few days.

But De Bruyne is expected to be out for at least two months – and further scans will be carried out at the practice of Pep Guardiola's favourite doctor Ramon Cugat - who also treated Mendy and Ilkay Gundogan - to determine the full extent of the problem.

It is likely that De Bruyne will have surgery and remain in Barcelona for rehabilitation.

There was talk that the Belgium international would travel to Catalonia yesterday, but he turned up at last night's premiere of the new City documentary “All or Nothing” on crutches.

It is understood that de Bruyne has a similar injury to the one which kept him out for nine weeks in 2016 – when City won just four of the 12 matches he missed.
