(Reuters) - Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne will miss up to three months of action but will not need surgery after scans revealed the full extent of his knee injury, the Premier League club said on Friday.

"He will be a big miss," said City manager Pep Guardiola, after the news was broken by the club. "It is not easy to replace Kevin. We are going to try and do our best without him and try to be there by the time he returns."
