Manchester City Star Kevin De Bruyne May Miss Out On Club World Cup Due To Injury
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Kevin De Bruyne may not be able to make his return from a hamstring injury in time for the Club World Cup. The midfielder has been out of action since the beginning of November due to the injury, and Guardiola has suggested that the tournament may come too soon for the Belgian to make a full recovery.
The Club World Cup is an international football tournament that takes place every year between the champions of each continent’s respective club competitions. Manchester City are representing Europe in the tournament this year, and the Blues will be hoping to add another trophy to their collection.
This is the first time that De Bruyne has suffered from a hamstring injury, and the midfielder is said to be taking the necessary steps to make sure he is fit and ready to return to action as soon as possible. The 27-year-old has been undergoing rehabilitation since the start of November, and Guardiola has praised the player for his commitment to getting back to full fitness.
“Kevin is doing everything he can to get back to full fitness,” said Guardiola. “He’s working hard in the gym and out on the pitch, and we’re very pleased with his progress. We’re hopeful that he will be available for the Club World Cup, but it may come too soon for him to make his return.”
De Bruyne has been one of Manchester City’s star players since joining the club in 2015, and his absence has been keenly felt. The Blues have had mixed results in his absence, with some impressive wins mixed with some disappointing defeats. However, Guardiola is hopeful that De Bruyne’s return will provide the team with the boost they need to compete for major honours.
“Kevin is an incredibly important player for us,” said Guardiola. “He brings a unique quality to our team and his presence will be a huge boost for us as we look to compete for major honours. We’re hopeful that he will be ready to return soon, but we will not rush him back and will make sure that he is fully fit and ready to go before he takes to the pitch.”
The Club World Cup takes place in Qatar in December, and it is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world. Manchester City will be hoping to make their mark on the tournament this year, and it is a huge disappointment for them that De Bruyne may not be able to make his return in time.
However, Guardiola is confident that De Bruyne will be back in action soon, and the midfielder is determined to make his return as soon as possible. The Belgian has been a key player for the Blues since joining the club, and the team will be hoping that he will be able to make his return in time for the Club World Cup.
