Man City handed Kevin De Bruyne injury scare for Arsenal as star limps off vs Inter Milan
Kevin De Bruyne limped off during Manchester City's Champions League clash vs Inter Milan, four days before the Blues face Arsenal in the Premier League.

He limped back on for the closing stages of the first half, but did not emerge after the break.

Arsenal are two points adrift ahead of Sunday's showdown at the Etihad. The two sides played out a 0-0 draw in the corresponding fixture last season as City reeled in Mikel Arteta's side to secure a fourth straight Premier League crown.
