Nose broken in UCL final De Bruyne suffered from a fractured nose and left orbital socket after Antonio Rudiger's challenge in Saturday's UCL final against Chelsea, he announced Sunday on Twitter.

Impact With a suggested recovery time of three weeks before he could step onto the field again, there's a fear that De Bruyne will miss part if not all of this summer's Euro tournament due to this injury. Much like the man who he collided with for this challenge in Rudiger, De Bruyne is all but certain to wear a face mask if able to play for his country before a potential elimination. In the mean time, look for Eden Hazard to become one of the most important attacking players for Belgium if he can get fit, though De Bruyne's recovery is likely to generate regular news updates until the Euros begin.

Suffers head injury against Chelsea De Bruyne was subbed off in the 59th minute of Saturday's Champions League final against Chelsea because of an eye injury, according to Stuart Brennan of the Manchester Evening New...

Impact De Bruyne collided with Antonio Rudiger and the head-to-head contact with the mask Rudiger was wearing gave De Bruyne a black eye. He was attended to on the pitch for several minutes before being helped off the pitch, with Gabriel Jesus coming on to replace him. De Bruyne finished the match with one key pass and zero shots. The severity of the issue will have to be determined soon, as De Bruyne is slated to join the Belgian national team for the European Championships in June.

MAY 24, 2021 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Plays full 90 in big win De Bruyne scored and assisted to go with another shot on target and seven chances created in 90 minutes of Sunday's 5-0 win against Everton.

Impact Most important for De Bruyne is that he went a full 90 Sunday despite not playing in the prior three matches because of fatigue. It's unclear what the issue was because if he actually dealt with fatigue, there's no reason for him to go a full 90 ahead of the UCL final. Either way, he still had a solid Premier League campaign despite numerous injuries, finished with six goals and 12 assists in 25 appearances (23 starts).

Starting in finale De Bruyne is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Everton.

Impact De Bruyne returns to the starting XI for Sunday's finale after staying on the bench midweek. He hasn't played since May 4 because of fatigue and it's hard to see him going a full 90 Sunday, even with a week of training ahead of the Champions League final.

Stays on bench Tuesday De Bruyne (muscle fatigue) stayed on the bench in Tuesday's loss against Brighton.

Impact The plan for De Bruyne was to likely make a late appearance Tuesday with Man City nursing a lead, but after a quick red card, those plans were dashed. Now, the question is if Pep Guardiola wants to get De Bruyne some match action prior to the May 29 Champions League final. He hasn't played since May 4 and getting him minutes in the league finale could be an option.

On bench against Brighton De Bruyne (muscle fatigue) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Brighton.

Impact De Bruyne is back in the squad Tuesday, but he's on the bench after missing the prior two matches. He'll likely make an appearance off the bench and then be in play to start the home finale against Everton before prepping next week for the Champions League final.

Training, available Tuesday De Bruyne (muscle fatigue) has trained the last two days and should be available for Tuesday's match against Brighton, according to manager Pep Guardiola.

Impact De Bruyne should be ready to start Tuesday, but he may be brought along slowly following some fatigue issues. He'll likely start one of the next two league matches and then get a full week ahead of the Champions League final.

Not in squad Friday De Bruyne (muscle fatigue) is not in the squad for Friday's match against Newcastle.

Impact De Bruyne is rested a second-straight match Friday with an undisclosed issue. In a more important match, he may be in the squad, but with the title wrapped up, he's not needed. At this point, there's a chance he's rested the rest of the way with the hopes of being 100 percent for the Champions League final.

Impact This update is somewhat surprising because it was originally thought that De Bruyne missed last weekend's match with muscle fatigue. In other words, he was rested. However, after this latest update, it seems like De Bruyne is dealing with some kind of injury, which likely means he won't start every match ahead of the Champions League final later this month, including Friday's trip to Newcastle..

Rested against Chelsea De Bruyne wasn't in the squad for Saturday's loss against Chelsea because of muscle fatigue.

Impact De Bruyne has missed a few matches this season because of muscle related issues and his absence Saturday was likely to insure he didn't pick up a new one. He hasn't appeared in league play since Apr. 3, but there's a chance that changes in Friday's trip to Newcastle after receiving a full week of rest following the second leg against PSG.
