The Belgian midfielder suffered an injury in the Champions League final against Inter Milan and was forced off at the end of the first half.

Man City had a hard time without De Bruyne. However, they still reached the pinnacle of European glory thanks to Rodri's only goal.

After days of celebrating with his teammates, De Bruyne's X-ray results showed that his injury was more serious than expected with a torn hamstring.

The Belgian player does not need surgery yet but will definitely miss the first stage of the 2023/24 season, including the English Super Cup at Wembley.

In addition, De Bruyne is likely to miss the first round of the Premier League against newcomer Burnley. The medical team hopes he will return in the European Super Cup against Sevilla on the night of August 16.

The 31-year-old star himself also asked the club for more time to rest and recover, before starting training to prepare for the new season.

De Bruyne missed Aymeric Laporte's recent wedding. Instead, he went on holiday to Ibiza with Gundogan and Nathan Ake.

In the 2022/23 season, De Bruyne still plays an important role in the success of Man "Blue" with 9 goals and 16 assists in all competitions.
