This season, Kevin De Bruyne, who has already missed a significant part of the matches, suffered another injury. The 27-year-old midfielder was substituted in the game against 'Bournemouth' at the end of the first half. The Belgian felt pain in his thigh and could not continue the match. After the game, Pep Guardiola confirmed that K. De Bruyne suffered a hamstring injury. "Due to a muscle problem, Kevin will have to take some time off the field," - briefly commented the Catalan about the situation. At the beginning of the second half, 'Man City' also lost John Stones. The coach believes that players with such physical problems face them due to the very intense schedule. "We replaced John because we didn't want to take any risks. We will see what his condition will be tomorrow," - said P. Guardiola. "If I'm not mistaken, we played 25 games in 93 days - one match every three days. So, I think it's a physical problem. The body is not able to recover in such a short time. Sometimes your muscles simply tell you that they've had enough. Other players now feel more responsibility, but we are eagerly awaiting Kevin's return," - added the coach.
