PEP GUARDIOLA PREVIEW

Pep Guardiola addressed the media on Tuesday afternoon. The first question he answered was in regards to Kevin de Bruyne’s injury which he sustained in our opening Premier League win over Burnley. 

“It’s a serious injury,”  said Guardiola. “We have to decide on surgery but he will be a few months out.

“First of all, the injury to Kevin is a blow and big loss for us,” he continued. Kevin has specific qualities. You can lose it for one or two games but for a long time this is tough for us.

“But we have to look forward and we have alternatives there at other options. [There are] opportunities now for the other ones - life gives you that - and I am pretty sure they will take it.”
