Kevin De Bruyne could be out through Euro 2016 after suffering torn ligaments in his knee and ankle in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday.

De Bruyne, who came on as a late substitute for Yaya Touré in City’s 3-1 win, appeared to catch his studs in the turf and twist his knee as he challenged Ramiro Funes Mori in injury time and was carried off on a stretcher.

Agent Patrick De Koster admitted that De Bruyne will be out for a minimum of six weeks, adding that it is too early to judge whether he would play again this season.

“Kevin will be out for at least six weeks but it is too early to know more at this stage,” De Koster told the Guardian.

“He’s confident. Of course he is a bit sad that he will miss so many important games like the Capital One Cup Final and Champions League but Kevin would not be Kevin if wasn’t already thinking about playing again for City.”
