Kevin De Bruyne reveals he has been playing with 'serious pain' this season as Manchester City star admits injury frustration has caused 'physical and mental' difficulties

Kevin De Bruyne has revealed that he has been in 'serious pain' this season, with the Manchester City star admitting that his injury woes have caused difficulties 'physically and mentally'.

De Bruyne, 30, has endured a frustrating campaign thus far. His three goals and one assist from 14 appearances pales in comparison to his incredible output of seasons gone by.

Injuries have contributed significantly to De Bruyne's figures this term. The Belgian was forced to miss games against Norwich and Arsenal earlier this campaign through an ankle injury and has started just five of eleven league games thus far.
