Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola revealed on Friday that Kevin De Bruyne would miss this weekend's visit of Arsenal after picking up an injury while on international duty. The City playmaker was withdrawn in the second half of Belgium's Nations League defeat against England last Sunday and did not play against Iceland in midweek.
Guardiola is optimistic De Bruyne will not be sidelined for too long. Speaking ahead of today's tie against Arsenal, Guardiola said: "Unfortunately Kevin is out but the rest of the players they have come back well. I don't think it's much but the next games I think he will be out. But we'll see day-by-day how it's going on."
