MANCHESTER, England — Manchester City faces a new injury concern for Kevin de Bruyne ahead of a showdown with Premier League title rival Arsenal. The playmaker was substituted at halftime of City's Champions League match against Inter Milan on Wednesday. The game ended 0-0. The Belgium international looked in discomfort late in the first half and after receiving treatment he didn't return after the break. City hosts title rival Arsenal at Etihad Stadium on Sunday. City manager Pep Guardiola says he doesn't yet know the extent of the injury.
