Manchester City's star player, Kevin De Bruyne, will not be able to join his team in their upcoming match against Arsenal on Sunday. Reports state that De Bruyne sustained an injury during City's recent Champions League game against Inter and was forced to leave the field at half time. After the match, City's manager, Pep Guardiola, confirmed that De Bruyne's condition would be evaluated by the team's medical staff before the match against Arsenal.
Unfortunately, it seems that De Bruyne's injury is serious enough that City is not willing to risk him in their game against Arsenal. This means that De Bruyne will have to sit out and watch his team play from the sidelines at the Etihad Stadium. However, it has been reported that his injury is not expected to be a long-term concern, which is a relief for both De Bruyne and the team.
In the meantime, Guardiola is not worried about the lack of playing time for some of his other players, such as Rodri, Phil Foden, and Ilkay Gundogan. In fact, Rodri was given his first start of the season in the match against Inter, while Foden and Gundogan were brought on as substitutes at half time. Guardiola explained that the team has been dealing with a difficult schedule and has been managing it well, with the players showing good behavior on and off the field.
Looking ahead to the match against Arsenal, Guardiola knows that it will be another tough challenge for his team. He acknowledges the strength and quality of the Arsenal squad, stating that they are a title contender and will be a tough competitor for years to come. Guardiola also recognizes the young and deep squad that Arsenal has built, making them a formidable opponent.
As for the game plan, Guardiola admits that he is not sure what to expect from Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta. He will have to study and adapt to their style of play in order to prepare his team for the match. But despite the challenges, Guardiola is confident in his team's abilities and is pleased with their progress so far this season. He believes that they are better than they were in the past and is looking forward to the test against Arsenal on Sunday.
