Kevin De Bruyne, who will play as a substitute in the Premier League match against Bournemouth, was a doubt for Saturday's game but he could play a few minutes. As could Jack Grealish, who may not be risked by manager Pep Guardiola.
The Belgian was assessed by Manchester City's doctors before being called up by his manager, as the Spanish coach said in a press conference. "I don’t know if he is 100% but we took a good decision to not take a risk, apart from the result, if the result was not good, people would ask why he didn’t play."
Moreover, Guardiola also spoke on Friday about the injuries to Josko Gvardiol and Grealish: "This week no, [they will not be involved], but they are closer. I need to speak with doctors. I don’t know. If I know it I will tell you."
