Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said that Kevin de Bruyne will be welcomed with open arms when he recovers. The 27-year old midfielder is out for three months due to a knee injury.

Guardiola said, “It is not easy to replace Kevin. We are going to try and do our best without him – and try to be there by the time he returns. We will support him and my advice to him is to rest and take the holiday he didn’t get this summer. He will start to train with the group again when he is ready and we will welcome him with open arms.”

Pep Guardiola added, Like the doctor said, he will be out two and half-three months,” the manager added. Hopefully, in that time, he can do as well as possible, to get back and help us again. He will be a big miss – like last season was with Benjamin Mendy. Last season, Kevin was outstanding and of course you never want it, but it is part of the game.

For Kevin and his family it’s hard, but we accept it. Sometimes it is normal – the players don’t rest, they come back and have a short recovery – and we say ‘come on, let’s go’. Sometimes human beings have a limit.”

Manchester City will play Huddersfield Town tomorrow.
