Man City Worried Over Kelvin De Bruyne Fitness
Guardiola Unsure on De Bruyne Fitness for Liverpool Clash
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says that he does not know whether City's midfielder Kevin De Bruyne will be fit to face league leaders "Liverpool" on Thursday as they challenge for the Premier League title.
The Citizens took the Reds' advantage at the top of the table high as they got a seven points with a restorative 3-1 win at Southampton on Sunday, with David Silva and Sergio Aguero notching efforts either side of a James Ward-Prowse own-goal.
Belgium international midfielder Kelvin De Bruyne made his first league start of the season in the Boxing Day loss at Leicester City following a pair of medial knee ligament injuries but he was absent from Guardiola's matchday squad at St Mary's.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager told a post-match news conference that the Belgium star's latest setback is not as serious as his previous hindrance, but he admitted that he is unsure if he will be available to take on Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side as the both team will battle for supremacy.
Pep Guardiola Said:-
“I don't know how Kevin De Bruyne is.
“I know it's not serious, but I don't know if he can play on Thursday.”
Pep said it will be "almost impossible" for Manchester City to retain their Premier league title if they lose to Liverpool, adding: “Of course, I think they'll drop points but not too many.
