Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Kevin De Bruyne, a key midfielder for Manchester City, will be sidelined for several weeks due to a recurrent hamstring injury.
Kevin De Bruyne suffered a recurrence of his injury during the Premier League season opener against Burnley. The injury originally occurred in the Champions League final against Inter in June.
Speaking after the game, the tactician said: “Unfortunately he is injured again. A problem in the same position, he said to me, as in the final of the Champions League. It’s a pity because he had recovered well but now we have lost him for a time so we have to reflect, talk to the doctors, see what happened.
“He has to be relaxed, recover, and come back. He was feeling good and playing good in the first minutes. It depends on the magnitude of the injury but will be a few weeks out. Maybe it was my mistake [to play him] but when he is injured after 15-20 minutes it is not something wrong [with the decision] – when it is after 65 minutes it is the fatigue of the muscle.”
Belgian midfielder’s injury during a match raises concerns about his recovery time and potential impact on future games. Guardiola will prioritize his player’s health over rushing his return to the pitch.
Kevin De Bruyne, the midfielder, will undergo tests to determine the severity of his injury. The timeframe for his return is uncertain, so it may be a while before he is able to play again.
