LONDON (Reuters) – Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne is facing a potentially lengthy spell on the sidelines after he was carried off on a stretcher with a suspected knee ligament injury in Wednesday’s League Cup semi-final win over Everton. The Belgian had come on as a second-half substitute and been instrumental in turning the game in City’s favour. He scored the goal that put them 2-1 ahead on the night and crossed brilliantly for Sergio Aguero to head home and give City a 4-3 aggregate victory. De Bruyne suffered a painful end, however, when his knee appeared to give way in the 89th minute and he was carried off with his leg in a brace. “I’m optimistic he won’t be out for the rest of the season,” City manager Manuel Pellegrini told the BBC. “We’ll see how important the damage is. It’s not the cruciate ligament.” Pellegrini said the club’s doctor thought it was a problem with De Bruyne’s medial ligament. “Kevin has been a very important player all season,” he said. “Tomorrow we will have news but it is not a nice injury.” The injury could have a significant impact for both club and country, with City still fighting on four fronts and Belgium having qualified for this year’s European Championship in France. City are second in the Premier League table, three points behind leaders Leicester City, and play Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League last 16. They travel to Premier League rivals Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday. (Reporting by Toby Davis; editing by Ed Osmond/Greg Stutchbury)

<h2><strong>Premier League 2021/22</strong></h2>
The 30<sup>th</sup> season of the top flight professional English football, Premier League 2021/22 will take place from August 13 2021 to May 17 2022. After a not-so-thrilling title race last season against Manchester United, Manchester City emerged victorious for the Premier League title.

<h2><strong>History</strong></h2>
Comprising of four divisions until 1991, the top division of English football split up and all the teams in the top division, after multiple discussions with the football authorities and television broadcasters, formed the Premier League in 1992.

The competition format remained the same, with three clubs relegated and three clubs promoted every season, and the top four clubs in the Premier League would qualify for the Champions League.

The main reason for the change in approach was to bring in more money into the game. The first broadcast rights for the Premier League was to be won at ?304?million over five years by Sky UK. The Premier League is the most-watched sports league in the world, broadcast in 212 territories to 643?million homes and a potential TV audience of 4.7?billion people.

<h2><strong>Transfer Window</strong></h2>
The Premier League has two transfer windows- Summer and Winter, where clubs can buy players. The summer transfer window generally over two months long, which begins and ends before the start of the season, while the winter transfer window is the mid-season window, which lasts the month of January.
<h2><strong>Winter break</strong></h2>
The 2019-20 Premier League was the first season to incorporate a winter break, which has always been included in major leagues across Europe. This came up after much debate about the Premier clubs having a disadvantage in the UEFA Champions League over clubs from other leagues, who come fresh from a winter break.

In February 2020, the Premier League saw one round of matches played over two weekends, with five matches on the weekend commencing February 8, and five on the weekend commencing on February 15.

<h2><strong>Prize money</strong></h2>
Prize money is drawn from broadcast revenue - TV money - and a team's monetary health come the end of the season depends on how many televised games they are involved in, as well as their final position.

The prize money for the Premier League champions is around ?150 million ($182m), although it also brings with it many other financial rewards

<strong>Kevin De Bruyne</strong>

Kevin De Bruyne Kick-started his career with his local club in 2003 before moving to Genk two years later. He would stay with the Belgian club for seven years until catching the eye of Chelsea scouts.

He transferred to Chelsea in 2012, but was loaned out to Werder Bremen a few months later. He enjoyed a fairly successful stint there and returned to Chelsea after his loan deal was up.

Chelsea managed to hold onto him despite interest from top Bundesliga clubs. However, he was back there again, this time with VFL Wolfsburg, where he stayed for three years.

Finally, he was snapped up by Manchester City and he has remained there ever since.

Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne Kevin De Bruyne Kick-started his career with his local club in 2003 before moving to Genk two years later. He would stay with the Belgian club for seven years until catching the eye of Chelsea scouts. He transferred to Chelsea in 2012, but was loaned out to Werder Bremen a few months later. He enjoyed a fairly successful stint there and returned to Chelsea after his loan deal was up. Chelsea managed to hold onto him despite interest from top Bundesliga clubs. However, he was back there again, this time with VFL Wolfsburg, where he stayed for three years. Finally, he was snapped up by Manchester City and he has remained there ever since.
