The Belgian playmaker has been on the sidelines since August, nursing a hamstring injury suffered during the club's Premier League season opener against Burnley.
Guardiola expressed his eagerness to have De Bruyne back in action throughout the season and hinted at a potential return around the end of December or early in the new year. The manager acknowledged the necessity of De Bruyne's recovery from surgery, signaling a potential boost for City fans during the festive period.
The manager also shed light on the condition of other injured players, particularly providing insights into John Stones' progress: “We have training now, but we'll see this afternoon… I'm not optimistic about good news for some people to come back… John Stones is getting better… Not to play but maybe a few minutes for the next one.”
What's next for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City?
Despite grappling with injuries, Manchester City has already secured their place in the Champions League knockout stages with an impressive tally of 12 points from four matches. Guardiola is likely to introduce fresh faces into the squad for the upcoming Champions League fixture against RB Leipzig on Tuesday. As City navigates through a challenging period, the potential return of De Bruyne offers a ray of hope, setting the stage for a positive start to 2024 for both the team and its dedicated fanbase.
