Bad news for Kevin De Bruyne (32). After his new hamstring injury, doctors concluded that an operation was necessary. This intervention means that he would be out for several months. The decision has yet to be made official by City, but according to multiple sources, an operation is very likely. No doubt Pep Guardiola will talk regarding it at his press conference this Tuesday evening before the European Super Cup once morest Sevilla on Wednesday.
On Friday, De Bruyne had to leave the pitch following 20 minutes once morest Burnley. His injury was the same one he suffered in the Champions League final once morest Inter Milan two months earlier. Manchester City want to avoid having a third relapse. An operation had already been considered following his injury once morest Inter, which was a third-degree tear.
Much like Thibaut Courtois, De Bruyne is unlikely to play once more in 2023. City hope he will be 100 per cent for the second round when the prize money is handed out. De Bruyne’s Euro 2024 is not in danger, but he will miss six games: two once morest Azerbaijan and one once morest Estonia, in Austria, once morest Sweden and in a friendly once morest Serbia.
In 2020, Ousmane Dembele had been out for 6 months following hamstring surgery.
