De Bruyne to miss three games for Man City due to Covid-19

Manchester City are set to be without Kevin De Bruyne for their next three games after revealing that the Belgian midfielder has tested positive for Covid-19.

The 30-year-old midfielder has been away on World Cup qualifying duty with his country, helping Belgium book their place at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

“Unfortunately Kevin got positive for Covid in Belgium,” Guardiola said. “We found out two days ago, he is here.

“Forget about fitness and momentum, he is positive now he has to recover.

“We have to be careful, people are dying from Covid, he is vaccinated so hopefully he will be okay. There is no concern about rhythm it’s about the human being.”

De Bruyne will miss the games against Everton and the Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
