Pep Guardiola explains Kevin De Bruyne absence from Man City squad against Fulham

Pep Guardiola has revealed the reason why Kevin De Bruyne has been left out of Manchester City's squad for their huge clash against Fulham.

City will go top if they beat Fulham at Craven Cottage but will have to do it without De Bruyne after he was surprisingly absent from their match-day squad. The Belgian playmaker was named player of the match as City thumped title rivals Arsenal 4-1 on Wednesday.

He found the back of the net twice and also chipped in with an assist, but Guardiola revealed De Bruyne was not fully fit after picking up a knock. Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of the game, Guardiola said: "He doesn't feel good. He has some injury and could not travel."
