It\u2019s actually going very well.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is important that I get this injury 100 per cent right. There were a lot of cracks. Those hamstrings could have torn at any time. It was &#8211; on paper &#8211; a wet kitchen towel. Ultimately, I had a major maintenance carried out after 700 (career) matches, a bit like you do with your car.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/01\/19\/77287523-0-image-a-21_1698868686856.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Kevin de Bruyne faces a crunch update on when Manchester City can expect his return<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/01\/19\/77286823-0-image-a-20_1698867749679.jpg\" height=\"634\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>De Bruyne had surgery after\u00a0managing the long-standing hamstring complaint last season<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>De Bruyne was forced off during the Champions League final against Inter and believes he exacerbated the existing problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I still had a lot of stress in that final,\u2019 he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Because of all those movements I may have made the crack a little bigger.
