The Belgian suffered a hamstring injury midway through the first half - MCFCManchester City manager Pep Guardiola provided an injury update about star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne after the latter was forced off the pitch during the Premier League match against Burnley on Friday. The Belgian suffered a hamstring injury midway through the first half. This was his first start since being forced off with a groin injury in the Champions League final two months ago.
Speaking after the match, Guardiola confirmed that De Bruyne will spend few weeks on the sidelines. “It’s the hamstring again. Same position. I don’t know [how long he will be out] it depends on the magnitude of the injury but it will be a few weeks out,” Guardiola said in his post-match press conference.“Of course, he's down because he fought a lot. He felt really good and I spoke with him. He wanted to start. To play for 45 minutes was the idea.“Maybe it was a mistake. But when someone is injured after 15-20 minutes, it’s not about that, it's about something wrong.“If it happened after 60-65 minutes it could be fatigue of the muscle. We have to talk with the doctor and with him. He has to free his mind and he’ll be back for sure."I remember one year I think in our second Premier League together he was injured for a long time. He knows a little bit what it’s like.“He lost the final of the Champions League after 25 minutes. He felt really good and I spoke with him and he said he felt perfect.“He wanted to start play 45 or 50 minutes that was the idea. Unfortunately it happened and of course he’s disappointed but he is strong and he will be back.“He came back from that position and he will be back now.”The defending champions got off to a great start in the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Burnley. Star striker Erling Haaland scored a brace in the first half, meanwhile Rodrigo added a late third.
