Pep Guardiola should not be in a hurry to play De Bruyne because after recovery, De Bruyne has a lot to develop, including building chemistry again with the players.
So far, the place left by De Bruyne can still be covered by other players, although it must be admitted that De Bruyne's individual quality cannot be matched by other players and De Bruyne's influence on the performance of the Manchester City team is very large, but every player has suffered a long injury. Of course, it takes time to recover so it can return to its best performance.
The world-class performance of Kelvin De Bruyne have been missed this season, can't wait to watch him bounce back to action. KDB made a promise to come back to the club as soon as possible because he had been out of action for a long time and the team and fans had missed him. Kelvin De Bruyne's position has been filled by an experienced backup substitute, and based on the team's current performance, they don't appear to miss the Belgium international, since they're consistently contending and striving for significant rewards this season. Pep Guardiola is the mastermind's plan behind Manchester City's outstanding accomplishments.
Well, when he recovers, he will definitely have to make some adjustments. So he will definitely be given minimal playing time at the start of his return when he has recovered. But a few weeks ago news spread that Manchester City was even ready to sell De Bruyne if he did not recover in the near future. There was even news that the Al-Nassr club approached him. But De Bruyne seems to have rejected the invitation from the Arab club.
Everyone will definitely miss his performance at Manchester City. But maybe he won't immediately return to his best performance like before he was injured. Because usually a long absence will make a player become a little dull and not as good as before. But fortunately it seems he is almost cured, just a few more scans before he is declared 100% cured. But the news about De Bruyne being released before his contract expires still makes me curious. Is it just a rumor or is there really such a plan from the club? Does anyone have any information about this.
