"I told my wife I'm going to play a little longer," said Kevin De Bruyne. "After this lockdown, I cannot stay at home. I told her I'm going to take two years more. It's time to play football again. I miss it and it's difficult. But we are not important, football is not important. People love football, but you need to stay safe."

"I've been at home now for two weeks," De Bruyne stated. "At the beginning, my family and my kids were a little bit sick so that was a little bit worrying but they are alright now. "It took eight or nine days, we don't know, but now they are better luckily as you never know what is going to happen."
