EPL: De Bruyne set to miss Manchester Derby

Manchester City midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne, will miss the next five to six weeks with a knee injury and is set to miss the Manchester Derby.

ESPN FC reports that De Bruyne would miss the visit of Manchester United on November 11.

De Bruyne injured his left knee in the 2-0 win over Fulham in the Carabao Cup on Thursday night.

He hobbled from the pitch in the 85th minute, after Fulham defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah landed heavily on his leg.

The 27-year-old has already missed two months of the season after damaging ligaments in his right knee during training in August.

He will now miss Sunday’s clash with Southampton, Wednesday’s Champions League game with Shakhtar Donetsk and the derby with United.
