De Bruyne Kevin
Injured in the ankle in the Champions League on Wednesday, Kevin De Bruyne is nevertheless in the group taken over by Pep Guardiola for this FA Cup semi-final once morest Liverpool (4 p.m.).
The Belgian was uncertain and had stitches applied. He hadn’t practiced yesterday either. This place on the bench is a bit surprising, since the Belgian was expected to only return to the field next week (Wednesday once morest Brighton). To see of course if De Bruyne will step into the game today or if Guardiola does not prefer to take a risk …
Note that the young Belgian trained in Anderlecht Romeo Lavia also appears in the ranks of the substitutes.
On the other hand, Kyle Walkeralso injured once morest Atletico in C1, is absent.
