Trouble growing at Manchester City: Problems for De Bruyne

He City of Manchester is going through one of its most delicate moments since then Pep Guardiola supervised the team. This is not an alarming situation, but it raises suspicions after four consecutive games without achieving victory.

As if that wasn’t enough, now there seem to be problems with Kevin de Bruyne, who is still injured with his hamstring and the absence from the field is taking a lot of notice from the team. It is expected that the Belgian can be recovered by Club World Cup but Pep Guardiola He admits it’s too early to see him make another appearance, although he’s already on the list.

“He started running around the field, but he didn’t practice with us even once”explained the Catalan coach, while DeBruyne He is still recovering from surgery in August. “The FIFA Club World Cup is in two or three weeks. I don’t know. Maybe it’s too early”Guardiola lamented this.

DeBruyne He suffered an injury in the first game of the season against Burnley, where he was substituted after 23 minutes. “Kevin is very important but, unfortunately, he has been suffering from a serious injury for three or four months. There is no need to put any more pressure on him, when he comes back we will welcome him”insisted Guardiola, who confessed to having told the team that “do you know how we fought to win the treble? We were eight or nine points behind Arsenal. With all the problems and injuries we had.”

Regarding the absence of De Bruyne and Rodri against Aston Villa, Pep did not look for an excuse. “I don’t need ‘oh, maybe we can do it.’ We all have to do this together and if Kevin is here, great and, if not, fine too. Or maybe Rodri isn’t around, so I have to make a way without him. “Last season, it was almost always there, so something had to be done.”settled on the coach of Manchester City.
