Napoli, De Bruyne: "Op went well, I'm eyeing my return" | OneFootball

The long-awaited message has arrived. Kevin De Bruyne, through his Instagram profile, wanted to reassure everyone after the surgery on his right thigh. “Hello everyone, as you know I will have to stop for a while. The good news is that the operation was perfectly successful. My return has already begun. Thank you for all the messages,” wrote the Belgian star, accompanying his words with a black and white photo of himself on the field wearing the Napoli jersey.

The Belgian thanks the Azzurri fans: “Thank you for the affection, Naples awaits me”

A simple post but capable of stirring an entire city. In a few hours, the comments section was flooded with thousands of affectionate messages: “Come back soon, Naples is waiting for you,” “Get well, champion,” “We can't wait to see you at Maradona again.” His teammates also wanted to show their support: from Politano to Gilmour, including Rrahmani and Mazzocchi, all responded with emojis and words of encouragement.

The injury, which occurred during the match against Inter, immediately raised fears of the worst. After scoring a penalty in the 33rd minute, De Bruyne remained motionless, without celebrating, until he was escorted off the field in tears. From there, he immediately left for Antwerp for surgery at the clinic where he had already been treated in 2023. The recovery will be long, but the message from the Azzurri midfielder is clear: the desire to return is stronger than anything. Naples awaits him, knowing that when Kevin De Bruyne returns to the field, he will once again be a protagonist.
