Manchester City fans can breathe a sigh of relief as manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne’s recent injury is not expected to keep him sidelined for long. De Bruyne suffered a suspected groin problem during the Champions League draw against Inter Milan on Wednesday, leaving fans wondering about the extent of his injury.
While Guardiola didn’t give a specific timeframe for De Bruyne’s return after City’s thrilling 2-2 draw with Arsenal, he did assure fans that it wouldn’t be a lengthy absence. “I don’t think it will be long,” Guardiola said, hinting at a potential return for the crucial Premier League match against Newcastle at the weekend.
De Bruyne’s injury comes after he returned from a four-month layoff due to a hamstring injury suffered last season. His dramatic comeback in January, where he scored a crucial goal against Newcastle at St. James’ Park, showcased his immense talent and importance to the team.
With De Bruyne potentially back soon, Manchester City will look to maintain their strong start to the season. They currently sit atop the Premier League table with 13 points after five games, demonstrating their dominance and ambition.
