JEDDAH: Kevin De Bruyne was not included among the substitutes for Manchester City on Tuesday despite traveling to 抖阴短视频 for the team鈥檚 Club World Cup semifinal game against Japanese club Urawa Red Diamonds.
De Bruyne had been a surprise addition Monday at the team鈥檚 light training session at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.
The 32-year-old playmaker had surgery on a hamstring injury more than four months ago. He last played for the European champions on Aug. 11 against Burnley, leaving the field just 23 minutes into the first game of the Premier League season.
It was the same problem that forced the Belgium playmaker to be substituted in the first half of the Champions League final against Inter Milan in June.
The winner of Tuesday鈥檚 match will play Brazilian club Fluminense in the Club World Cup final on Friday. The loser will face Egyptian club Al Ahly in the third-place game on the same day.
