INJURY UPDATE: Man City Await Kevin De Bruyne’s Fitness Update Ahead of Crucial Arsenal Clash.
Manchester City are anxiously waiting on Kevin De Bruyne’s fitness ahead of their crucial match against Arsenal this weekend.
The Belgian midfielder was substituted at halftime during their scoreless draw with Inter Milan, after appearing to struggle with an issue. Manager Pep Guardiola, who had planned to replace De Bruyne at halftime regardless, is hopeful to get more clarity on his condition within the next 48 hours.
Losing De Bruyne would be a significant setback for City, much like how Arsenal are dealing with the absence of their captain, Martin Odegaard.
Guardiola commented, “We’ll evaluate the situation tonight, and I’ll have more information tomorrow. The medical team advised me that he wasn’t fit to continue, but I was already considering a halftime change.”
