De Bruyne will undergo surgery, this is how long he'll be out and the games he'll miss

The news from Manchester City for this summer has been complicated. After having to deal with the departure of their captain Gundogan, and a big attacking element in Mahrez, the club have also struggled to convince Walker and Bernardo Silva to stay. Now, Kevin De Bruyne already knows the extent of his injury and will have to undergo surgery.

Kevin De Bruyne fell to the ground against Burnley and in the retina of many there was that memory of the UEFA final, that image with the heartbroken Belgian, having to withdraw from the match due to his blow. Now, despite the fact that many considered that it was not something serious, the reality is that the operation will be necessary for Kevin.

According to insider Kristoff Terreur, Kevin De Bruyne will undergo surgery in Antwerp following his hamstring injury, ruling him out for three to four months. The return of the current Manchester City captain would be valued for January 2024. Specifically on the first date of the year against Newcastle, on the 13th of that month.

Will Manchester City sign a replacement?

According to the journalist, Miguel Angel Casas, Manchester City will have to look for solutions to cover his absence at the start of the 2023/2024 season, thinking of a Spanish option such as that of the RB Leipzig player, Dani Olmo. At the moment, Manchester City is also expected to finalize the arrival of Lucas Paqueta.
