Manchester City should discover the full extent of Kevin de Bruyne's hamstring injury over the next 24 to 48 hours.

De Bruyne limped out of Saturday's win at Swansea and reports have already emerged saying the Belgium midfielder will be out for four weeks.

That would rule him out of the Champions League trip to Barcelona on 19 October, plus key Premier League games against Tottenham and Everton.

However, it is understood De Bruyne still has to complete his medical tests. Only when they are done will they know how long they will be without the Belgium international for.

City have started the season superbly under new manager Pep Guardiola, winning their first 10 games.

They will equal a club record 11 victories on the trot if they win at Celtic in the Champions League on Wednesday.

It's been some season for teenager Oliver Burke.

The 19-year-old earned a £13m move to German side RB Leipzig in August after scoring four goals in five Championship games for Nottingham Forest.

He then made his full Scotland debut in a 5-1 win over Malta and on Sunday became the first Briton to score in the Bundesliga since 1999.

Burke's goal, on his first start for his new club, helped them earn a point at Cologne.

Match of the Day pundit Kevin Kilbane praised the performances of Southampton full-backs Ryan Bertrand and Cedric Soares in their 3-0 win at West Ham.

England international Bertrand claimed the assist for his side's first goal. 

Kilbane said: "Southampton's full-backs, Ryan Bertrand and Cedric Soares, held the key. Both were superb at getting forward - Bertrand in particular in the first half, and Cedric after the break."

Pundits Kevin Kilbane and Robbie Savage discuss with Mark Chapman on Match of the Day 3 how West Ham are "carrying" players defensively as they analyse the Hammers' struggles.

West Ham are in "disarray" and manager Slaven Bilic has "major surgery" to do to resolve their problems, says BBC pundit Chris Sutton.

Speaking after Sunday's 3-0 loss to Southampton, their fourth straight league defeat, captain Mark Noble said his side's defending was "laughable".

Noble added things "can't get any worse" for the Hammers, who are 18th.

"It's dark days for them and I can't remember such an abject display," Sutton said on BBC Radio 5 live.
