Guardiola raises doubts on the ability of the most important Man City player to play against Real Madrid

Manchester City is facing the most important stage of the season. Guardiola’s men are counting on themselves to win the Premier League after defeating Arsenal, and they have reached the FA Cup final and are three games away from winning the Champions League title.

But to do so, they must eliminate Real Madrid in the “semi-finals” and one of their stars may not be available in the first leg.

Kevin De Bruyne suffers from muscle problems that prevented him from being with the group in group training since the decisive victory over Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium, where the Belgian midfielder requested a change in the 80th minute.

Guardiola himself confirmed on Sunday that he was “not feeling well” and might not be available for the FA Cup final against Manchester United at Wembley, on May 6, and for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid on May 9 at the Santiago Bernabeu.

And about the date of his return, Pep said: “I do not know when he will return.”

Along with Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne is one of Manchester City’s greatest weapons. A midfield wizard that Guardiola needs for his ‘plan’ to work smoothly. This season, the Belgian has scored 9 goals and distributed 27 assists in 42 matches.
