Napoli midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has been ruled out for up to four weeks after suffering a right thigh muscle injury during his side’s Serie A clash against Inter Milan, which ended in a 3–1 defeat.

According to medical reports released after the match, the Belgian playmaker is expected to be out for approximately three to four weeks. The injury occurred while De Bruyne was taking a penalty, forcing him to leave the pitch shortly after.

De Bruyne joined Napoli from Manchester City this summer, marking one of the most high-profile transfers of the window. Since arriving in Italy, he has made 11 appearances across Serie A and the Champions League, scoring four goals and providing two assists for the Neapolitans.
