The start of the coronavirus suspension for De Bruyne’s family was a bit scary, as his wife and two sons were sick form 8-9 days.
He says he’s not sure whether or not they had the virus, but he only had minor symptoms and is happy to report that they are better now.
He said he realizes how fortunate he is to have a house with a playground and room to run around, labeling his 4-year-old and 18-month-old sons “two savages... They just destroy the whole house. That’s two little boys I guess.”
De Bruyne also spoke to how hard it was to hear that manager Pep Guardiola’s mother died from COVID-19 complications, playing Fortnite with Dele Alli, and his hopes of returning to the United States with City in the future.
Thoughts are with Pep and his family at this time. One team. pic.twitter.com/wUKnhRG9vi
