In the 33rd minute of the match between Napoli and Inter (3:1), De Bruyne scored a successful penalty to give Napoli a 1:0 lead. But at the same time he suffered a serious injury, for which he had to be replaced. De Bruyne injured the back box when shooting from the penalty spot.
He did not celebrate the goal, but cried in pain, which is why worried teammates surrounded him.
The Belgian left the game shortly after scoring. Now Fabrizio Romano has announced that De Bruyne will be out for months due to a serious muscle injury in the back of his right thigh, which he sustained while successfully taking a penalty. He already had a lot of problems with the last lodge.
He missed 12 games for Manchester City and Belgium last season due to a groin injury, and 30 games the year before.
De Bruyne left City and moved to Napoli this summer after ten years. He started very well there, in 11 games he scored four and set up two goals, and the current champion of Serie A is currently the leader. Now they will have to defend their title without a key player.
