Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Kevin De Bruyne will be available for Manchester City’s Premier League matchup with Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday evening.
The midfielder took a day off from training on Tuesday, leading to speculation of an injury, but Guardiola assured fans after the pre-match press conference that the Belgian was back in training following the one-day layoff.
Along with news regarding De Bruyne, Guardiola also updated supporters on the recoveries of John Stones and Ruben Dias who had experienced lengthy periods away due to injury.
After being involved in two consecutive sessions at training, Guardiola said they are both now back in contention for selection.
Going into Thursday night’s matchup, City have not enjoyed the best run of form lately after succumbing to defeats against Southampton and archrivals Manchester United in recent weeks.
Nevertheless, Tottenham are enduring an even worse streak – having lost games to Arsenal and Aston Villa – which could provide a glimmer of hope for Pep’s struggling side.
