Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Kevin De Bruyne will not be available for Manchester City’s upcoming match against Wolves, as the midfielder continues to recover from a serious hamstring injury. De Bruyne, who suffered the injury earlier in the season, has been a key player for City, and his absence has been keenly felt. Guardiola acknowledged that there is still no specific timeline for his return, but the manager remains optimistic, stressing the importance of utilizing the depth and talent within his squad to maintain momentum.
Despite the setback, City has managed to maintain their position near the top of the Premier League table, with other players stepping up in De Bruyne’s absence. Guardiola praised his team’s adaptability but noted that the absence of a player of De Bruyne’s caliber remains a significant challenge. The Belgian’s creativity and vision have been crucial in orchestrating City’s attack over the years, and his return is eagerly awaited by both the club and its fans.
De Bruyne’s prolonged absence has forced Guardiola to rely on other midfielders, like Mateo Kovačić and Phil Foden, who have taken on more responsibility in creative roles. Guardiola emphasized that while they are coping without De Bruyne, the team must continue to improve and adapt as the season progresses, especially with several key fixtures on the horizon.
City’s match against Wolves will test their depth once again, as they aim to secure another victory without their influential playmaker.
