Man City’s De Bruyne suffers fractures to nose, eye socket
Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne fractured his nose and a bone around his left eye socket in Saturday’s Champions League loss to Chelsea, the 29-year-old said on Sunday.
The Belgium international had to go off on the hour mark with a concussion injury in City’s 1-0 defeat at Porto’s Estadio Do Dragao after an accidental clash with Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger left him on the ground.
Everyone at the Club wishes you a speedy recovery, @DeBruyneKev 💙 https://t.co/09Ma9bdrcp
