Pep Guardiola provides latest update on Kevin de Bruyne's injury status ahead of Manchester City's clash with Arsenal

Pep Guardiola has announced that there is a possibility for Kevin de Bruyne to recover in time for Manchester City's upcoming match against Arsenal on Sunday.

The Citizens and Gunners meet at the Etihad in a match that is likely to have a huge impact on the Premier League title race even at this early stage of the season.

Arsenal are struggling with injury issues, with captain Martin Odegaard sidelined for the next eight weeks, but City were given a scare of their own earlier this week.

De Bruyne picked up a knock during the Champions League draw with Inter Milan on Wednesday night and had to be subbed off at half-time.

Reports suggested that the key attacking midfielder would miss the Arsenal game but Guardiola has now suggested that he might be available.

‘He feels today a little bit better, but not yet. Days off and tomorrow is training and we will see,’ the manager said in his pre-match press conference on Friday.

‘He could be [involved].’
