Guardiola disclosed when Man City's leader will return to the field

Manchester City's head coach, Pep Guardiola, revealed the anticipated return date of their leader, Kevin De Bruyne, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

According to the Spanish manager, the Belgian footballer is expected to return in January. While De Bruyne is feeling well overall, he still requires some more time. Kevin De Bruyne hopes to make a comeback shortly after the New Year. Guardiola emphasized that De Bruyne is no longer 21, and time is unfortunately ticking.

Kevin is currently recovering from an injury and needs to undergo a thorough rehabilitation to ensure he is well-prepared. It is anticipated that he will soon be in optimal condition. Recall that Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne suffered a knee tendon injury during the first match of the Premier League against Burnley. After his injury, City secured victories in only nine out of 13 Premier League matches.

In August 2015, Kevin signed a six-year contract with Manchester City, with a transfer fee of 70 million euros. At that time, it was the second most expensive transfer in the history of English football, surpassed only by Angel Di Maria's move to Manchester United a year earlier. In the new team, De Bruyne immediately became a key player, not only orchestrating attacks but also regularly finishing them.

With Manchester City, De Bruyne has won all possible trophies in England, as well as the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup.
