Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne tested positive for Corona

The double vaccinated Kevin De Bruyne from the English champions Manchester City has tested positive for the corona virus. Team manager Pep Guardiola announced this on Friday. The Belgian, who was last with the national team, had to be “ten days in isolation”, according to Guardiola.

Thus, the offensive player not only misses the home game in the Premier League on Sunday against FC Everton, but also the Champions League game against Paris St. Germain next Wednesday.

“At the moment people are dying in this pandemic. Of course, he was vaccinated, he is better protected,” said Guardiola: “The symptoms will hopefully be weak.” However, the Catalan is “not worried about our rhythm or that we will miss it. The person is more important.”

City are three points behind leaders Chelsea in the Premier League. In the premier class, the Guardiola team leads group A as one of the opponents of RB Leipzig and has the best chances for the round of 16.
