Manchester City is currently in the lead in the Premier League, as it beat Arsenal on Sunday thanks to a hard-fought victory on the field of Fulham. It went on to win 1-2 at Craven Cottage, after Pep Guardiola had tinkered with his team a little bit. The most notable absentee was without a doubt Kevin De Bruyne.
A few days ago, the Red Devil was the absolute star in the top match against Arsenal with two goals and an assist, but now he was not even in the selection. That was surprising, because Pep Guardiola had given no indication in recent days that De Bruyne would be absent. On Sunday he finally came up with an explanation, which, however, sounds disturbing.
“Kevin is not feeling well. He has an injury and could not make the trip,” Guardiola said Sky Sports. De Bruyne had already complained about ‘aches’ when he was substituted against Arsenal, and they turned out to be worse than expected. However, Guardiola could not say when our compatriot can return. “No,” it sounded. “Don’t know.”
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
That is worrying for City, because crucial games are coming up. They will play a make-up game against West Ham on Wednesday, while Leeds awaits in the Premier League next weekend. But especially after that it is money time, because on May 9 and 17, the double confrontation with Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League awaits.
