The German Antonio Rudiger, Chelsea defender, has personally apologized to the Belgian Kevin de Bruyne, Manchester City midfielder, who suffers a nose and left orbit fracture after a violent clash between the two in the Champions League final .
«I am very sorry for @DeBruyneKev for his injury. Of course, this was not intentional on my part, “said the German defender on his official Twitter account, who said that he has already been in contact with the Belgian.
“I really wish him a speedy recovery and I hope we can see him on the field again very soon,” said Rudiger.
De Bruyne, who after retiring from the pitch had to even leave the stands before the end of the match to receive treatment, is one of the stars of Roberto Martínez’s call for the Eurocup that begins in less than two weeks, but it is not yet clear which ones will be the consequences of this injury for their participation in the competition.
The Belgian team will debut at the European Championship on Saturday June 12 against Russia and it was already scheduled to join the group on Monday June 7, later than the rest, to rest after the final of the Champions League. EFE (HN)
