Premier League The last step, the end is in sight. Hoffenheim, last gallop in the Champions League, yesterday came too early for Kevin De Bruyne (27), but the Red Devil training after six weeks of injuries with the group. ‘King Kev’ is ready for the kerstvoetbal.
Pep Guardiola can use him. There is a busy period, with six matches in eighteen days. And to say that he had yesterday for the last Champions Leaguematch against Hoffenheim only fifteen fully-fledged pros for the decision – Vincent Kompany sat on the couch. Fernandinho out with a small illnesses is, David Silva on the sidelines with hamstringproblemen, Sergio Agüero after nuisance deliberately spared. In that list an was for the last time, the name of Kevin De Bruyne.
From today onwards he shall be deleted. De Bruyne was training Tuesday careful with the group. Pressure, they not for him to impose. Him pushing to play either. Still, it fell yesterday in the Ethihadstadion to hear, take Guardiola for him rather today than tomorrow in his core. “We look at it from day to day,” said Guardiola a few days ago. “If the player feels well, he will be with the group training.”
