The midfielder Kevin De Bruyne limped off after 59 minutes on Wednesday evening and has since undergone a scan to confirm he will need a spell on the sidelines. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on Friday informed that Bruyne will miss between four to six weeks after he got injured against Aston Villa in midweek.
A website quoted Guardiola as saying, "The doctor had to review the scan this morning, and he will be out between four and six weeks. It is a big blow. But we have to move forward. I am not saying that nobody doesn't know how important he is." He further added, "Unfortunately for him and for us, he will be out for an important part of the season and we have to find a solution because everyone is struggling in this situation and we have to adapt."
De Bruyne could miss as many nine games, including the trip to Liverpool and Champions League first leg against Borussia Monchengladbach. Walker was also forced to come off against Villa after picking up an impact injury.
