As the talisman for Manchester City, Kevin De Bruyne had a major calf injury at the beginning of the new season. De Bruyne is hopeful that he will be able to return from injury in time for the Club World Cup.

In the crook The Club World Cup is the competition that Kevin De Bruyne has set his sights on for his comeback to Manchester City.

Following a recurrence of a catastrophic calf injury that necessitated surgery, the captain of the City team has not been seen on the pitch since the beginning of the season. However, he is no longer relying on crutches, and the medical staff at the club anticipate that he will be able to begin training again the following month as he continues to make progress in his recuperation.

De Bruyne, who is 32 years old, is hopeful that this might mean he plays a role in City’s effort to prolong their unbroken run of winning the sport’s major trophies. When the FIFA club competition begins on December 2 in Saudi Arabia, the teams that won the Treble in the previous season will likely be the favorites to capture the title of world club champions.

Due to the fact that De Bruyne experienced issues in August, City is hesitant to hurry him back into action.

When the midfielder hobbled off in the 30th minute of Etihad’s triumph at Burnley in the opening Premier League game of the season, Pep Guardiola, the manager of Etihad, was accused of playing him too soon.

After suffering a recurrence of a severe calf injury, the midfielder for Manchester City was required to have surgery.

He was only able to play for thirty minutes of his team’s opening day victory over Burnley when an injury forced him to leave the game.

The former Chelsea player had to deal with a problematic calf injury during the last few weeks of the previous season, and he had to spend the majority of the summer recovering on the treatment table.

 

But because City are in such good shape right now and are coasting towards more success – even without De Bruyne pulling the strings – Guardiola will have the luxury of easing his five-time Premier League winner into action when he returns to the lineup.
