Kevin De Bruyne is set to miss Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool.
The playmaker scored his 14th goal of the season last Saturday as the two Premier League title contenders drew 2-2 at the Etihad Stadium.
However, the Daily Mail reports that the Belgian international is set to be denied the chance to face Liverpool for the second time in less than a week.
The 30-year-old was forced out in the second half against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night due to an ankle injury, with Pep Guardiola afterwards saying that City were ‘in massive trouble’ due to De Bruyne and Kyle Walker’s problems.
While the report indicates that De Bruyne had an impact injury, it is indicated that he will not be able to heal in time for the Wembley Stadium encounter.
At the moment, it is unknown if the player will be able to return in time for City’s next encounter against Brighton & Hove Albion on April 20.
