I hope De Bruyne really only has a minor injury. Because we also realize how important the role of Kevin De Bruyne is in the Man City squad. Even before De Bruyne recovers from injury, we can see Man City not being very productive. but after De Bruyne returned we could see Man City again experiencing an increase in goal productivity. In fact, it's not just Haaland who is able to surprise the opponent's goal, but Man City's other strikers are able to do the same after De Bruyne returns. Well, let's hope it's not a serious injury because I expect the maximum match from the two teams that will compete.
Sadly this happens to be the second time de bruyne is suffering an injury this season, although the first was a major and this currently looks like a minor and this could actually not really mean well for Manchester city in that he's now injury prone and it may aswell affect his productivity to the team, he's role in Manchester city is such that can't be over looked as he's presence tells a whole lot on the team.
Manchester city can actually do without him, as they have in past times done without him so it's not so much of a big deal but then they would have to make sure they get his replacement if he continues with injuries like this as he's got a very vital role he plays in the squad. Talking about goal productive I think it has a whole lot to do with haland when it comes to Manchester city and it's clear he's the highest goal scorer in the premier league already so I don't think de bruyne is the main factor with goals for Manchester city but then he's got the best assist that gets halland to be productive enough for the team.
constant in and out injuries is one disorganized factor that can ruine the career of a talented player and that's the fate De bruyne is facing right now in Manchester City. As talented as he is I wonder why an engine room like him in the midfield of City will be bedeviled with such circumstance and this can change the mind of Gardiola to start looking for his replacement and it may have to an extend a negative effect on the team's successes to critical games that ordinarily if de Bruyne were to be in the game with one of his magical passes a goal will be gotten.
However, despite how minor this particular injury he's facing at the moment he's sure of not participating in the first leg against real Madrid in the UCL which is something any coach would have a concert for looking at the calibre of players from his rival team. Manchester City has before now pulled through without him but it's always different in the way they play when de Bruyne is present on the pitch.
