Kevin De Bruyne emerges injured, a setback for Mark van Bommel

On Sunday, Kevin De Bruyne started for Napoli in Serie A against Bologna, but left the field in the 88th minute limping, leaving the Red Devil out of the match and raising concerns for Mark van Bommel ahead of the next call‑up.

Narrow victory for Napoli

Napoli needed to win after two setbacks. Under Massimiliano Allegri, the men found the solution in the 66th minute thanks to Stanislav Lobotka, who provided the only goal and allowed the Neapolitans to walk away with three points.

The Red Devil accumulated playing time, taking part in almost the entire match and looking to make a difference, with a scoring chance. Since the start of the season, Kevin De Bruyne has scored one goal and provided an assist in five games, across all competitions.

In the 88th minute, Kevin De Bruyne left the field limping, replaced from the bench. No official statement has been released by Napoli regarding his physical condition, and fans will have to wait the coming hours to learn the possible nature of an injury.

With Mark van Bommel's first call‑up approaching, Kevin De Bruyne's situation will be monitored to determine whether he can join the Red Devils' training sessions.
