Kevin De Bruyne has been ruled out of Manchester City's Champions League clash against Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday with a groin injury.

City say the Belgian picked up the injury in the win over Everton at the weekend and he missed their training session on Monday.

After a series of tests, he will play no part in his side's second Group C fixture at the Etihad on Tuesday. No time frame has been given for his return.
