Man City give Kevin De Bruyne injury update after substitution vs Manchester United

Pep Guardiola says there is no lasting injury concern with Kevin De Bruyne after his substitution for Manchester City in their derby win over Manchester United.

De Bruyne's first-half brace had put City in control, and the Belgian was at his brilliant best to set up Riyad Mahrez from a corner in the second half. He was substituted before Mahrez added a fourth just before full-time after taking a kick and appearing to limp back to the bench.

Asked after the game, Guardiola confirmed the substitution was to avoid any further injury to his star man, but played down any suggestion of the problem becoming a longer-term issue.
