‘Ankle injury?’, ‘Nooooo’, ‘Who’s gonna bail us out now?’ – Man City fans react as extent of Kevin de Bruyne injury is revealed

Manchester City talisman Kevin De Bruyne is set to miss Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool with an ankle injury.

De Bruyne and Kyle Walker were forced off injured during the second half of the ill-tempered contest against Atletico Madrid in Spain, securing a 1-0 aggregate win and setting up a semi-final against Real Madrid.

RMC Sport reported earlier on Thursday, after further examination, it would appear possible that Kevin De Bruyne could be out of action up until the Cityzens’ meeting with Real Madrid in their Champions League semi-final clash.

According to the information of Jack Gaughan at the Daily Mail, Kevin De Bruyne is set to miss the FA Cup semi-final vs Liverpool with an ankle injury.

The report states that De Bruyne’s problem is thought to be an impact injury rather than muscular, but Man City doctors will have a better grasp of timescales for his absence after more assessment.

As part of the same report, Jack Gaughan states that Kyle Walker is also ‘likely’ to miss the clash against Jurgen Klopp’s side.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

“What we expected. At least it doesn’t sound bad and hopefully he only misses this game and maybe Brighton. We all know that Bernardo steps up when KDB is out..”

“Even if he’s fit. He should sit the game out and the next PL game. I don’t mind if he doesn’t play till Madrid.”

“Wasn’t expecting him to play even if he was healthy given the intensity of the previous two fixtures. Hope he is back for Brighton.”

“Did people forget when KDB got injured last season, Gundo had his best form of his career. And speaking about Walker, Cancelo at RB and Ake at LB and the latter has been a saviour for the past couple of matches”
