Guardiola: De Bruyne's injury 'doesn't look good'

Manchester City are waiting to learn the extent of an injury suffered by Kevin De Bruyne during Saturday's FA Cup semifinal defeat to Chelsea.

"He has pain," City manager Pep Guardiola said when asked about the Belgian's apparent ankle issue, according to Goal's Jonathan Smith. "Tomorrow they are going to test, but they tell me it doesn't look good."

City's talisman picked up the injury in a challenge with N'Golo Kante at the start of the second half. Phil Foden promptly replaced him.

De Bruyne, who recently inked terms that will keep him at the club until 2025, has been his usual influential self for Guardiola's side this season. He started the weekend's 1-0 loss at Wembley just three days after his determined display against Borussia Dortmund guided City into the Champions League semifinals.

But he's now at risk of missing those upcoming continental clashes and more.

The Premier League leaders cram seven matches into the next month, including a League Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur and both legs of their Champions League semifinal tilt with Paris Saint-Germain.
