Manchester City could have Kevin De Bruyne back fit and available for their clash with Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.
De Bruyne suffered a knee ligament injury in training back in August, which was expected to keep him on the sidelines for up to three months.
However, the Belgian star has already begun training with his teammates and he is in consideration for Sunday’s top of the table clash at Anfield.
Speaking about De Bruyne’s chances of playing, Guardiola said:
He made part of the training today. He’s training with us. We’ll see tomorrow [if he’ll be available].
With just one game to go until the international break, City could play it safe with their star midfielder and leave him out, giving him an extra few weeks to get fully fit.
However, De Bruyne is set to have a late fitness test and if he’s able to pass it, it wouldn’t be a huge shock if Pep Guardiola named the Belgian on the bench for such a big game.
