Speaking for the first time since that game, manager Vincent Kompany confirmed the midfielder has suffered a serious blow.
“It’s definitely season over and maybe for the larger part of this year he won’t feature, so that’s a blow for him.
“It’s part of a career though, so we will support him as best as we can.”
When asked what specific injury he suffered, Kompany added: “I don’t want to go into specifics, but the main thing is he will recover fully. He will make a full recovery and he will be an important player for us in the future.
