Belgium coach Tedesco raises major De Bruyne injury concern

Manchester City could have been handed another major injury scare this week.

The Premier League and Champions League holders could miss Kevin De Bruyne when they take on Arsenal on March 31st.

De Bruyne is out of the Belgium squad for the upcoming international break and will miss City's quarter final in the FA Cup with Newcastle United this weekend.

Belgium manager Domenico Tedesco said of De Bruyne, who has struggled with hamstring problems all season: “I don't know whether it has something to do with his hamstrings. It is an injury to his groin.

“We learned of Kevin De Bruyne's injury yesterday. I spoke with him and the doctor. We decided to take zero risks.

“We want to give him time to recover. This is not the time to take risks with our players, three months before the Euros."
