Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is set go on layoff after suffering ankle injury and will miss Wednesday’s trip against Aston Villa
The midfielder was substituted after 47 minutes during Manchester City’s 1-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea on Saturday after landing awkwardly on his ankle following his battle for the ball with N’Golo Kante as he attempted to keep it in play.
De Bruyne was treated by City’s medical staff and then replaced by Phil Foden as he limped off the pitch.
City confirmed the Belgium midfielder suffered an injury to his
right foot and ankle and has been ruled out of the game against Villa, but say the full extent of the problem is not yet known.
De Bruyne is now be a doubt for the Carabao Cup final on April 25, along with Tottenham striker Harry Kane.
Speaking afterwards, Pep Guardiola said it was too soon to provide an assessment on the knock.
The Belgium international missed five matches because of a hamstring issue in January and February and has now suffered another injury problem which could impact his availability for City’s remaining six Premier League games, and their challenge for two cup competitions.
