Is the injury similar to two years ago? Italian media: De Bruyne’s initial examination shows it is not that serious this time

October 26 According to "Italian Football" report, De Bruyne's preliminary examination results show that his injury may not be too serious.

In the 8th round of Serie A this morning, Naples defeated Inter Milan 3-1 at home. De Bruyne scored a penalty kick in the 35th minute of the first half, then clutched the right side of his right thigh and left the field due to injury. Two team doctors helped De Bruyne off the field, and he was then taken back to the locker room on an electric stretcher for treatment. In the second half, De Bruyne returned to the bench on crutches and watched the last 20 minutes of Naples' game.

This injury is somewhat similar to De Bruyne's injury in August 2023, when he missed 4 months due to injury, which worried many people. However, "Italian Football" stated that preliminary examination results showed that De Bruyne's injury was not that serious. But with memories of his last injury, De Bruyne hopes to avoid a worse scenario.

The injury problem in the Naples team is relatively serious this season. Main players such as Lukaku, Rahmani, and Lobotka are currently injured.
