Manchester City are to be without their star man Kevin De Bruyne for the game against Southampton this weekend.
The Belgian suffered a nasty knee injury during the Carabao Cup win over Fulham during the week, which could keep him sidelined for some time.
Belgian journalist Kristof Terreur has confirmed that more tests are scheduled for today to discover the extent of the injury, but the early signs are not looking good for Manchester City.
The timing of the injury is a huge blow for the Belgian midfield maestro, who had just been working his way back to full fitness from a previous knee injury.
Fortunately for City and De Bruyne it is not the same knee, which could be good news in the long-term.
The task at hand does not get any easier for Southampton though, with Mark Hughes side still desperate for a positive result that can kick-start their season.
