MANCHESTER CITY fans fear an injury to one of their star players in the FA Cup final against Manchester United.
There is a great deal riding on the game, including City’s treble hopes.
United, who are the only English team to have won the treble, will be going all out to prevent their rivals from achieving the feat.
And City fans are concerned that could result in an injury to one of their key players ahead of the Champions League final, which takes place a week later.
In particular, some supporters are concerned about Kevin De Bruyne and his risk of injury coming up against Casemiro.
The Red Devils midfielder is not one to shirk a tackle and he has already been sent off twice this season.

De Bruyne, 31, was forced off with an injury the last time City reached the Champions League final in 2021, when he was bodychecked by Chelsea’s Antonio Rudiger.
Fans shared their injury fears ahead of the FA Cup final, although the Citizens still have to take on Brentford this Sunday too.
One said: “What if Casemiro tries to injure KDB a week before the UCL final.”
Another added: “What if [Raphael] Varane tries to injure Haaland?”
