Kevin De Bruyne has revealed he has put contract talks with Manchester City on hold during the most frustrating injury of his career.
The 33-year-old, who is in his 10th season at the Etihad Stadium, is in the last year of his current deal and has not started since September because of an abdomen problem, though he has been fit enough to come off the bench in each of City’s last three games, including Saturday’s thrashing at the hands of Tottenham.
