Kevin de Bruyne, a Napoli midfielder who suffered a significant thigh injury against Inter Milan, will have to spend a while watching from the sidelines.

The 34-year-old was substituted shortly after the 33rd minute of the Saturday game’s opening scoring.

A high-grade tear was discovered on the Belgian playmaker’s hospital visit.

Reigning champions Napoli have not given a timetable for his return to action, who defeated Inter Milan 3-1 to reclaim the top of the table.

De Bruyne left Manchester City for Napoli for free in June.
