"Kevin De Bruyne is undergoing tests on his right knee after sustaining an injury at training on Wednesday. The extent of the problem is not yet known and we will bring you further updates on Kevin's condition in due course," read a statement from the club.

KDB was part of the Man City side that impressed last season, narrowly missing out on the PFA Player of the Year award.

He was also the star of the show for Belgium at the World Cup, netting the winner against Brazil in the quarterfinals.
