KEVIN DE BRUYNE has hobbled off after just 22 minute in Manchester City’s opening Premier League clash away at Burnley.
The City midfielder had been a doubt going into the game after having to recover from a hamstring tear he suffered in last year’s Champions League final.
He was replaced by new City signing Matteo Kovacic in the 23rd minute with the Cityzens 1-0 up against Burnley courtesy of a fourth minute Haaland goal.
The Belgian pulled up suffering from discomfort in the 20th minute and was immediately consoled by Haaland and Bernardo Silva as he crouched down.
De Bruyne, who was captaining City on the night, handed the armband to Kyle Walker as he trudged off the pitch.
