Kevin De Bruyne Has An 'Acute Nose Bone Fracture' And 'Orbital Fracture'

Kevin De Bruyne has confirmed that he broke his nose and suffered a orbital fracture in his sickening clash with Antonio Rudiger during the Champions League.

Manchester City star De Bruyne and Chelsea defender Rudiger collided which left the Belgium midfielder with a black eye.

He was subsequently replaced as he left the field in tears in an emotional moment.

De Bruyne has now just confirmed his diagnosis having returned from the local hospital.

He tweeted: "Hi guys just got back from the hospital.

"My diagnosis is Acute nose bone fracture and left orbital fracture. I feel okay now. Still disappointed about yesterday obviously but we will be back."

De Bruyne trudged off the pitch on the hour mark with the score 1-0 and it stayed that way - with Chelsea pipping Man City to the Champions League.

Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the game as Thomas Tuchel secured a third victory over Pep Guardola this season.
