Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has moved to calm fears that Kevin de Bruyne could face a long spell on the sidelines, saying the midfielder could return to the squad for Sunday’s Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Belgium international De Bruyne missed City’s 2-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Tuesday with a groin injury picked up against Everton last weekend.
“It’s not serious — today he could not play but we’ll see for Sunday,” Guardiola told reporters on Tuesday.
“Right now I don’t know. Maybe he can if we take a risk but I think after the international break he’ll be fit.”
