Kevin De Bruyne injury update emerges ahead of Man City vs Arsenal and it could decide huge title race clash
Significant news has surfaced regarding Kevin De Bruyne’s fitness ahead of Manchester City’s upcoming match against Arsenal.
On Wednesday evening, City played to a goalless draw against Inter Milan at the Etihad Stadium in the Champions League.
During the game, De Bruyne was substituted at halftime due to an injury, with Ilkay Gundogan replacing him. After the match, City manager Pep Guardiola stated that he hadn’t yet spoken to the medical staff but would have more information soon and planned to evaluate De Bruyne the following day.
As the weekend’s Premier League matchup with Arsenal approaches, reports indicate that De Bruyne is unlikely to participate due to what seems to be a groin injury.
The Mirror has reported that the 33-year-old midfielder will not be involved this weekend, with City hesitant to take risks that might exacerbate his condition. Following the draw against Inter, defender Ruben Dias noted that the season has only just begun and that while they had opportunities to score, they needed to improve. He acknowledged the danger posed by their opponents, especially given their past encounters.
