UCL fall-out: De Bruyne huge doubt for Euro 2020 after suffering two broken bones

Manchester City star, Kevin De Bruyne, suffered a fractured nose and eye socket in his team’s Champions League final defeat to Chelsea.

It is unconfirmed whether the injury will rule the Belgian midfielder out of Euro 2020.

The 29-year-old suffered the nasty injury when he bumped into Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger, with the score 1-0 to Thomas Tuchel’s side.

Both teams and spectators became concerned when De Bruyne didn’t get to his feet straight away, appearing to be in some discomfort.

City’s medical team dashed on and his team-mate Kyle Walker remained kneeling by the injured star’s side while he was receiving treatment.

The Belgium international thankfully made it to his feet but was in tears as he knew his night – and possibly his summer – was over.

He initially began icing the injury but was soon rushed to hospital before the match was over as the swelling on his face had become severe.

De Bruyne confirmed the extent of the injury this morning on Twitter, writing: “My diagnosis is Acute nose bone fracture and left orbital fracture. I feel okay now.

“Still disappointed about yesterday obviously but we will be back.”
