This Wednesday, Manchester City did not succeed in their entry into the Champions League. Against Inter Milan, the Skyblues hit a snag and had to settle for a goalless draw. Not enough to alarm Pep Guardiola’s gang, sure of its strengths. However, the latter lost one of its most creative members this Wednesday: Kevin de Bruyne. In his first-half match, the Belgian metronome finally had to give up his place at half-time after a rough duel with Yann Sommer.
And while the worst was being talked about for the future, Pep Guardiola gave reassuring news about his virtuoso this Friday in a press conference. Asked about the latter’s physical condition, the Catalan coach explained that he could even play this weekend against Arsenal: “He feels a little better today, but we’ll see tomorrow. He could be involved.» Good news a few hours before a decisive clash across the Channel (Sunday, 5:30 p.m.).
