<p>De Bruyne <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/injury-concern-man-city-kevin-de-bruyne-forced-off-champions-league-days-before-arsenal-showdown/blt4d0a28a3af84e9cb" target="_blank">picked up a knock</a> just before half-time in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/injury-concern-man-city-kevin-de-bruyne-forced-off-champions-league-days-before-arsenal-showdown/I%20do%20not%20want%20Ange%20out%20in%20any%20way%20shape%20or%20form%20but%20he%20was%20seconds%20away%20from%20losing%20at%20least%2070%%20of%20the%20fanbase%20tonight.%20%20%20In%20my%20opinion,%20it%20was%20completely%20unnecessary%20to%20make%20that%20many%20changes%20in%20a%20game%20he%20knew%20he%20HAD%20to%20win.%20This%20club%20man.%20#THFC" target="_blank">Champions League encounter against Inter </a>at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday. While attempting to stretch for a pass, the Belgian appeared to pull up and immediately called for medical assistance from City's staff. After receiving treatment on the pitch, it became evident that De Bruyne would not be able to continue, and he spent the second half on the bench.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to the<em> </em><a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/breaking-kevin-debruyne-injury-arsenal-33709032" target="_blank"><em>Mirror</em></a><em>, </em>De Bruyne is unlikely to be risked for the weekend’s game against Arsenal, as Manchester City will want to avoid exacerbating the injury. The club is keen to ensure the Belgian playmaker does not face a prolonged spell on the sidelines, especially with the congested fixture schedule over the coming weeks.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>City’s ability to adjust and perform without their star man has been a key factor in their success over recent seasons, and this will be another opportunity for them to demonstrate that resilience. The Belgian had missed 41 games last season cumulatively for both club and country, yet City emerged as the champions of England ahead of Arsenal in a nail-biting title race. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Arsenal will also miss <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/martin-odegaard-ankle-injury-arsenal-return-date-gunners-captain/blt1c37de7acd58afeb" target="_blank">Martin Odegaard after it was revealed that the damage to his ankle ligaments</a> was worse than initially feared, potentially leaving the Gunners without their captain until Christmas. With both teams without their primary midfield architects, it will be an intriguing battle in the centre of the park.</p>
