Midfielder criticises Fifa for timing of competitionFinal home game on Tuesday is ‘going to be weird’
Kevin De Bruyne has revealed he “probably won’t play” for Manchester City in this summer’s Club World Cup, with the Belgian critical of Fifa for staging the competition when contracts are still running.
City’s decision not to offer De Bruyne fresh terms means Bournemouth’s visit to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday and Sunday’s trip to Fulham on the final day of the Premier League season will be his final games for the club he joined 10 years ago. City play their three Club World Cup Group G games in June and De Bruyne’s deal finishes at the end of that month, so he could participate but has decided not to.
