De Bruyne May Skip Man City’s World Cup to Avoid Injury Before Summer Move
Kevin De Bruyne has suggested he might skip the Club World Cup with Manchester City, as he weighs his future beyond the club. The Belgian midfielder, 33, is nearing the end of his contract and is expected to become a free agent this summer.
With the Club World Cup set to take place in the US between June and July, De Bruyne would need to sign a short-term deal to take part. But he’s not convinced that’s a smart move. Speaking about the situation, De Bruyne expressed concern about the risk of injury during the tournament, especially with a potential transfer on the horizon.
“If I pick up an injury at the Club World Cup, then what? No one’s going to look after me at that point,” he said, adding that while there’s still a chance he could play, it’s unlikely. His comments hint at a player focused on protecting his future, rather than taking unnecessary risks in a competition that comes just as he prepares to move on.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
