Present at a press conference this Friday before the trip to the pitch of promoted Luton Town for the 16th day of the Premier League, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola admitted not wanting to take any risks with his midfielder Belgian Kevin De Bruyne, injured in his ankle for three months now. His presence at the Club World Cup (in Saudi Arabia from December 12 to 22), a competition for which the Red Devil with 99 caps (26 goals) was selected, is not assured.
“I think he started running on the field, but he didn’t train once with us. The Club World Cup is in what, two weeks? Maybe it’s a little early for Kevin, but I don’t know. Kevin is very important, but unfortunately he had a difficult injury at the start, he is still recovering for three or four months, so don’t put pressure on him.declared the Spanish coach to journalists about his 32-year-old player.
