Kevin De Bruyne and two other Manchester City top players to miss FA Cup match vs Newcastle United

Kevin De Bruyne has been sidelined with a groin injury, which has prevented him from being called up for either of Belgium’s two international matches this month. Additionally, there are concerns regarding his availability for Arsenal

Kevin De Bruyne is the most recent player to be added to the injured list of Manchester City, which comes just before the club’s vital Premier League encounter against Arsenal at the end of the month.

Due to the fact that De Bruyne has been dealing with an ongoing groin ailment, he was not selected for the Belgium squad. Domenico Tedesco, the manager of Belgium, came to the conclusion that it would be more beneficial for the 32-year-old player to be excluded from the friendly that are scheduled for this month. This decision was made to ensure that he will be able to participate in the Euro 2024 tournament in the summer.

He has been playing with a small groin ailment during the most recent games, according to Tedesco, who stated this at a news conference. I had a conversation with Kevin and the doctor yesterday, and we came to the conclusion that the risk is too great. In order to ensure that he is ready for the European Championships, it is preferable to give him some time to heal well at City.

The injuries that Pep Guardiola is now dealing with continue to pile up, and he is currently missing Ederson and Jack Grealish. It has been confirmed by Guardiola that there is no definite return date for Grealish, who is currently recovering from a groin injury.

According to what he said, “I don’t know when he will come back.” He has experienced a setback; it is imperative that he recovers well in order for us to make the most of his abilities.

The injury that Ederson sustained at Liverpool last weekend will keep him out of action for three to four weeks. It is almost certain that he will not be able to play in the crucial match against Arsenal on March 31, which will be ruled out of the competition. In spite of the fact that this is disheartening information for City, Stefan Ortega has established himself as a player at the club and will be working hard to secure a longer period of time in front of the stick.

The FA Cup quarterfinal match between City and Newcastle is scheduled to take place this coming Saturday, but as a result, Guardiola will not be able to rely on the three players.
