Kevin De Bruyne could be out for the rest of the year, this is what Pep Guardiola said

Manchester City could be affected in the worst possible way just in the first weeks of the season. Kevin De Bruyne's injury seems more complex than expected and according to Blad Sport News, the player could undergo surgery and this will take him away from the pitch for the rest of the year.

Kevin De Bruyne may need to undergo surgery for the hamstring injury he suffered against Burnley on Matchday 1 of the Premier League. Some discomfort that he had been dragging for months. If the Belgian undergoes surgery, he will miss the rest of 2023. The club is yet to decide.

Pep Guardiola spoke about this situation at the press conference prior to the duel between Manchester City and Sevilla FC in the UEFA SuperCup final. “We have to decide in the next few days if it will be operated or not. An operation is an operation. In other words, three to four months off for Kevin", shared the Spanish coach in this regard.

Will Kevin De Bruyne have surgery?

Everything indicates that it is the most viable option for the Belgian, because forcing it could get even more complicated or worse, turn into a chronic injury that little by little deteriorates his condition on the pitch. The decision will be made in the following days, but whatever happens, we will not see Kevin for the next few weeks.
