Kevin De Bruyne - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Out to face Bologna De Bruyne (eye) is out for Monday's match against Bologna.

Impact De Bruyne was labeled a late call just ahead of Monday's match, and will miss out altogether, as the midfielder is suffering from an eye injury. He is a starter, so this does force a change, with Giovane working into the starting XI in his place. A return for De Bruyne is not known, although only two games remain in the season.

Questionable for Bologna match De Bruyne might miss Monday's game versus Bologna because of a late minor physical problem, Sky Italy reported.

Impact De Bruyne picked up a small injury in the last training session and might be spared altogether. Giovane is currently considered the favorite to start next to Alisson Santos. Frank Anguissa and Matteo Politano would also be candidates to fill in if De Bruyne were ruled out.

Subdued showing versus Como De Bruyne recorded one cross (one accurate), one clearance and one corner and created two scoring chances in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Como.

Impact De Bruyne did the bare minimum in this one, failing to follow up his strong performance against Cremonese in a similar fashion. He has sent in at least one cross in all his nine matches since returning from a major thigh injury, racking up 30 deliveries (five accurate) and 16 key passes and 19 corners during that stretch. Instead, he ended a three-game streak with one or more shots in this one.

Scores and assists versus Cremonese De Bruyne scored one goal and assisted once from two shots (two on target) and three chances created in Friday's 4-0 win against Cremonese.

Impact De Bruyne recorded his first goal contributions since returning from a major thigh injury, feeding Scott McTominary before a tidy effort from midrange and stripping an opponent in the box and slotting it home shortly thereafter. He improved to five goals and two assists in the campaign. He has registered at least one cross, totaling 29 (four on target), and one corner, amassing 18, in the last seven matches, adding 14 chances created and four tackles (three won) during that stretch. Moreover, this marked his third consecutive outing with at least one shot, for a total of five (three on target).

Yanked early in Lazio game De Bruyne had one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in 45 minutes in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Lazio.

Impact De Bruyne put up okay numbers but evidently didn't perform well enough for his coach, who pulled him at the interval, inserting Elijf Elmas. He has tallied at least one cross in six consecutive matches since recovering from a serious injury, totaling 24 deliveries (three accurate) and posting eight shots (two on target) and 17 corners over that span, with no goal contributions. Instead, he snapped a four-game streak with multiple chances created in this one.

Creates two chances Monday De Bruyne had five crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Monday's 1-0 victory over AC Milan.

Impact De Bruyne made his second consecutive start Monday following his long injury absence, and he once again looked like himself. He created two chances in his third consecutive match, and he also recorded five crosses and took four corners. While he hasn't recorded a goal contribution in his four appearances since returning from injury, his production suggests more are on the horizon.

Lively display in Cagliari tilt De Bruyne created four scoring chances and had four shots (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Friday's 1-0 victory versus Cagliari.

Impact De Bruyne drew his first start in a long time following a major injury and ramping up in the previous two games, and responded well, orchestrating the offense and pacing his team in two offensive categories. He'll be a fixture if he avoids further physical problems. He has notched at least one shot in six straight appearances, amassing 12 (three on target), scoring once and creating nine chances over that span. He has registered at least one cross and one corner in his three outings since healing up, totaling eight (zero accurate) and seven, respectively.

Creates two chances off bench De Bruyne had one off-target shot, created two chances and sent in two inaccurate crosses after coming off the bench during Saturday's 2-1 win over Lecce.

Impact De Bruyne made his second appearance off the bench after his return from injury and had some displays of creativity with a pair of key passes but is still clearly and understandably far from what's expected from his fully-fit version. The debut campaign with Napoli didn't go as planned for the midfielder but he'll still have some chances to close it in a higher note and show that fans can have way better hopes for next season.

Subs in late in Torino tilt De Bruyne (thigh) recorded one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in 11 minutes in Friday's 2-1 victory over Torino.

Impact De Bruyne was deployed late to help manage the lead and looked okay in limited minutes. His playing time will likely increase gradually over the next few rounds. His return could affect Alisson Santos, Antonio Vergara (foot) and Eljif Elmas' minutes. He has notched four goals and two assists in 12 displays (10 starts), adding 20 shots (seven on target) and 19 chances created.

Returning in Torino fixture De Bruyne (thigh) has completed his ramp-up and has been selected for Friday's match against Torino, Gianluca Di Marzio relayed.

Impact De Bruyne was reportedly in decent shape upon heading back from Belgium and hasn't had any hiccup. He has missed four months due to a thigh injury that required surgery. He'll likely be eased into action, but he might be needed right away with Stanislav Lobotka (quad) and Scott McTominay (thigh) on the shelf and Frank Anguissa (thigh) also working his way back from a serious injury. He scored four PKs and provided two assists early in the season. He has notched at least one shot in his last three outings, piling up six attempts (two on target) and logging three key passes and three crosses (one accurate) over that span.

Resumes training De Bruyne (thigh) has returned to Italy and started practicing on grass, starting the final stretch of his rehab protocol, Napoli announced.

Impact De Bruyne spent the last few months in Antwerp, along with his own team of physios, under the supervision of the surgery that performed the operation. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, he'll need about four weeks of ramp-up before being cleared to play, as he was unable to do much for a long time given the severity of his lesion.
