Bad news for Manchester City as the severity of Kevin De Bruyne's injury is revealed

Manchester City faces an additional concern after their victory in the final in Istanbul. The joy of winning the Champions League title was dampened by Kevin De Bruyne's injury. The Belgian midfielder suffered a severe muscle injury that could keep him off the field for several months.

According to reports from the Daily Mail, De Bruyne's injury, which forced him to be replaced by Foden in the first half of the final, is more serious than initially expected. It is reported that the Belgian suffered a hamstring tear, a muscular ailment that could keep him out of games for approximately three months.

This injury jeopardizes his participation in the start of Manchester City's season, where Pep Guardiola's team faces significant challenges such as the Community Shield against Arsenal on August 6 and the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla on August 16.

If De Bruyne's recovery does not progress in the coming weeks, he is likely to miss both matches and a portion of the start of the Premier League. The player has dealt with physical issues throughout the season and has been struggling with minor injuries, especially during matches against Real Madrid and towards the end of the English league.

<br/>They won&#39;t risk him

Unfortunately, this injury occurred in the match against Inter Milan, and aware of De Bruyne's age, 32 years old, Manchester City does not want to take unnecessary risks and is willing to respect the appropriate timelines for his recovery.
