Back in 2016, De Bruyne suffered a similar knee injury while taking on Everton, which left him sidelined roughly two months.
The veteran Belgian midfielder has played a massive role for the Citizens since joining the club in 2015, appearing over 142 matches for the club across all competitions.
De Bruyne also featured in every match at this summer’s World Cup for Belgium, which saw the Red Devils finish third place in the competition.
