Manchester City could be without Kevin De Bruyne for a number of weeks after he suffered the recurrence of a hamstring injury as the defending champions opened the Premier League season with a 3-0 win at Burnley on Friday.
Erling Haaland scored twice before Rodri completed the scoring to give City a perfect start to their quest to become the first side to win four consecutive English top-flight titles.
But the night was soured for Pep Guardiola's men by the sight of De Bruyne limping off midway through the first-half. The Belgian had suffered a hamstring tear in City's Champions League final victory over Inter Milan two months ago. "He was injured again unfortunately," said Guardiola. "Same place and position as the Champions League and he will be out for a while. "It depends on the magnitude but will be a few weeks out.
He has to free (his) mind and relax because he came back from that position (previous injuries) and he will be back now." Burnley's 2022/23 season finished over a month before City's European Cup final win in Istanbul.
