If I get injured, what am I going to do, asks De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne has cast a doubt over his participation at the Club World Cup in June because he fears getting injured before he leaves Manchester City.

The Belgian playmaker is out of contract at the end of the season and will become a free agent. However, he could potentially sign a short-term extension that would enable to him to play in the newly expanded tournament which will feature 32 teams and will be played in the USA.

“I think in a way I have to take care of myself because if I get injured in the Club World Cup, what am I going to do,” said De Bruyne. 

“Nobody’s going to take care of me at that point. So there’s a big chance probably I won’t play it, but I don’t know. I have to take care of my family. I’ve got three kids, my wife, it’s not an easy process at this time,” he added.

The 33-year-old will leave City after 10 years and 14 major trophies.

De Bruyne missed a chance to add to his vast trophy cabinet as City lost the FA Cup final 0-1 to Oliver Glasner’s plucky Crystal Palace team.
