MANCHESTER: Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has tested positive for Covid-19 on international duty with Belgium, manager Pep Guardiola said today.
“Unfortunately Kevin tested positive for Covid in Belgium,” Guardiola told reporters, adding that the midfielder would isolate for 10 days.
“We found out two days ago, he’s here. Forget about fitness and momentum, he’s positive, now he has to recover. We have to be careful, people are dying from Covid. He’s vaccinated so hopefully he will be okay.”
City will host Everton in the Premier League on Sunday.
