De Bruyne: I m likely not playing in the Club World Cup, what should I do if I get injured? I have to protect myself first

05 May 18th In the FA Cup final, Manchester City lost to Crystal Palace 0-1 and missed the championship. After the game, according to the Manchester Evening News, De Bruyne said in an interview that he would probably not participate in the Club World Cup with Manchester City.

de Bruyne said: "To some extent, I have to consider myself, because what can I do if I get injured in the Club World Cup? No one will be responsible for me by then. So I may not participate, but I can't say it, maybe I will still play.

" (This situation) makes no sense, but when you force yourself into a new event and encounter contract issues, it will become like this. But I am just a player, and the rules are not determined by me, so I can do nothing. So in the end, like I said, I might have to prioritize myself, and that's a very normal decision. We can discuss it, but I'm not sure. ”
