Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne may no longer play for the Manchester City in 2023. That’s because the Belgian suffered an injury on debut of the Premier League and will miss the team for three or four months, according to coach Pep Guardiola.
“It’s a serious injury. We still have to decide whether to have surgery but he will be out for a few months,” Guardiola told a news conference on Tuesday.
De Bruyne started in the starting line-up against Burnley last Friday for English Championship. The player was on the field for 21 minutes until he felt pain in his right thigh, where he had already suffered an injury in the Champions League final in June.

Therefore, Manchester City will have a certain embezzlement in the first half of the season, where they will compete in the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cups and the UEFA Super Cup, which will be held this Wednesday, at 4 pm, against Sevilla, in Greece.
“He is one of the most important players at the club. He will definitely be missed a lot. We will try to support him in this bad moment… I saw him the other day and he was positive… I hope we can have him back in soon because he has been very important,” said Rodri, De Bruyne’s teammate in the Citizens midfield.
