De Bruyne’s Fitness Must Be Managed Amid The Crazy EPL Schedule – Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to say that he is not sure Kevin De Bruyne will be fit to face Crystal Palace. This is coming after he confirmed two more absentees, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Foden and Ake will not be fit enough to play vs Palace this weekend, and he’ll have to wait and see how KDB reacts to the tight EPL schedule in December.

Pep added that the club does not have many players to choose from right now, but they must adapt for the upcoming matches.

His words, “He’s [Foden] not ready. Nathan [Ake] is out; Manu [Akanji] we’ll see.

We don’t have many players so we’ll see. [It took] a long time to come back. With a game every three days, we’ll see how he [De Bruyne] reacts to this amount of games.”

WOW.

Pep Guardiola Sala is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who is currently managing Premier League club Manchester City.
