The thing is when he was injured first time around they were saying 4-6 weeks then he was back after 3 and played the full 90 against Everton and Barcelona which seems a lot for someone who's back ahead of schedule from a injury.
Defiantly rested at the swamp Wednesday
 
Not seen this confirmed anywhere else but this guy is normally pretty good with news......sorry if already posted..

Kevin De Bruyne (knock on the calf) won't play against Man United tomorrow. Uncertain for the weekend too. #mcfc
Yeh, saw that CityWatch retweeted it. I hate him not playing but agree a rest will do him good. Need him fully fit and rested for Barca

Not convinced that De Bruyne would have played tomorrow anyway.

Not worth the risk imo.

It's the least important competition & we have bigger more important games coming up very quickly.

We have to do our best, as it's the rags, but whichever side wins is actually going to handicap itself for the coming months & have a more difficult job in the other competitions.

Not worth making it even harder by risking injury.
 
Yeah. When he is on it, he really drives us forward. Great assist.
I've not seen any punditry on our game yet but I feel that pass won't get the credit it deserves. From the high camera angle it looks an easy ball but from where KDB is, to see Gundogan's run is brilliant, to be able to slide the pass through the gap with the perfect weight for him to not have to change stride before finishing, is magic.
 
Pep played him on the left in the first half to keep us solid and try and add some balance.

Once he was set free in the second half though he was unplayable, best player on the park, superb free kick, superb work rate and an absolutely top drawer pass for the 3rd.
 
Silva on the left , De Bruyne down the centre and Sterling on the right is the way for us to go forward.

De Bruyne was brilliant once he and Silva swapped
