Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has indicated that Kevin De Bruyne is likely to be available for their Premier League clash at Bournemouth, four days before the Premier League champions travel to Ashton Gate for a FA Cup fifth round tie against Bristol City.
Playmaker De Bruyne missed the midweek Champions League trip to RB Leipzig due to illness and is set to train on Friday afternoon before City travel to Dorset for the Saturday evening kick-off at Vitality Stadium. De Bruyne leads City’s team with 15 assists in all competitions and remains an integral individual in Guardiola’s system.
The Belgian international could start against Gary O’Neil’s Cherries or potentially be kept on the bench indicating he’ll then be in the line-up for Tuesday’s night’s game against the Robins.
