Pep: De Bruyne could still play in Arsenal clash

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola refused to rule Kevin De Bruyne out of Sunday’s clash with Arsenal, saying he could yet be involved despite picking up an injury on Wednesday.

“He feels a little better today… Tomorrow we train and we will see. He could be [involved],” Guardiola told a news conference on Friday.

De Bruyne was substituted at half-time during the 0-0 draw against Inter Milan. The Belgium international picked up an injury late in the first half after trying to race onto a through ball from Jack Grealish.

City prepare to host Arsenal in what could prove a pivotal clash in the race for the Premier League title.

Guardiola’s side have been unbeaten this season and are top of the Premier League after winning all of their opening four games.
