‘He’s not injured he was just Sick’… Pep Guardiola confirms £54m Man City player is almost back to his best
Pep Guardiola reveals £54m deal The player for Manchester City is almost back to his best.
Pep Guardiola has good news about one of Manchester City’s star players who is hurt.
On Tuesday, Manchester City beat Brentford 1-0 thanks to a late goal by Erling Haaland. This was their first win in a while.
With the win, Pep Guardiola’s team moved up to second place in the Premier League, just one point behind Liverpool. If City beats Bournemouth on Saturday, they could take first place.
Jurgen Klopp’s team doesn’t play in the league this weekend because they have the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea.
What a great chance for City down on the south coast, and Kevin De Bruyne might be able to help.
The great Belgian player stayed on the bench during Tuesday’s game; he didn’t even get up to warm up because Guardiola said he hurt his leg.

Even though the Blues manager didn’t want to put De Bruyne at risk so soon after his long absence, he did give a good report on Friday.

Kevin De Bruyne is still being watched by Pep Guardiola.
At the news conference before the game, Guardiola said, “Good, he’s not hurt.” Much better.
“I’m not sure if he’s 100%, but I believe we made the right choice.” [Don’t play him] Don’t risk anything.
“People would have asked why Kevin De Bruyne didn’t play if the result hadn’t been good, but I think we made a choice because he didn’t feel calm.”
“I don’t know, work out at 4.” Yesterday, he came and trained by himself. Today, we’ll look at things and decide what to do, but I think he will move.
He is getting close to 33 years old and has been hurt badly several times in the last five years. That’s a lot of damage.
At this point in their career, you have to carefully control how fit and productive a person is or you risk burning them out for good.
De Bruyne is great when he’s on the game, as shown by his play since coming back, but City could lose him for a while if they work him too hard.
The £54 million player came back from his last hamstring injury too soon at the beginning of the season, so he missed the first half of the season.
The best thing to do is to just let it go, but luckily it sounds like his niggle is getting better.
