Kevin De Bruyne has outlined a tentative return timeline from his injury if everything progresses as expected.
The expected timeframe for Kevin De Bruyne’s recovery from injury has been disclosed.
During the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, De Bruyne spoke to Sky Sports F1 about his anticipated full recovery after suffering an injury earlier in the season against Burnley.
Having temporarily been replaced by Julian Alvarez as Manchester City’s No. 10, the Belgian international provided an estimate for his return after the New Year.
According to the midfielder, his healing process is in its “final phase,” as indicated by Pep Guardiola’s previous statement in November, anticipating his return to first-team training.
Guardiola, however, refrained from specifying an exact comeback date, acknowledging the complexity of such injuries.
De Bruyne, an esteemed figure at Manchester City, shared optimism about overcoming his injury and returning to play shortly after the turn of the year.
“If things progress as expected, I’m aiming for shortly after New Year’s,” he mentioned to Sky Sports F1.
Amidst his absence, pundits like Glenn Hoddle have emphasized that De Bruyne remains Manchester City’s standout player.
Last season, the midfielder showcased exceptional skills, positioning himself among the world’s elite players.
His absence has been noticeable, given his pivotal role and unrivaled creativity within the team.
While Julian Alvarez has admirably stepped in for Erling Haaland, De Bruyne’s return in January is eagerly anticipated by Manchester City supporters, especially considering his historical prowess towards the end of seasons.
