Man City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne season could be over

Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne's season could be over.

The Sun says De Bruyne has suffered a small hamstring tear and is set to miss Manchester City's title run-in — including their derby at Man Utd.

The Belgium midfielder, 27, still has a chance of making the FA Cup final in three-and-a-half weeks - but is expected to be on the sidelines for the last four games of the Premier League season.

De Bruyne suffered the injury during the victory over Tottenham at the weekend and had Pep Guardiola fearing the worst.

The City boss confirmed De Bruyne is out of tomorrow's Manchester derby at Old Trafford in the champions' game in hand on table-topping rivals Liverpool.

Guardiola said: "It's a muscular problem, we will see in the next days how he will do. But tomorrow: no."
