Kevin De Bruyne won’t be in the travelling party for the game against Slovan Bratislava.

The Belgian has been sidelined since sustaining a groin injury in the first Champions League fixture against Inter Milan.

De Bruyne has subsequently missed the last three fixtures against Arsenal, Watford and Newcastle.


Guardiola says that the midfielder could return before or even “after the international break”.

Expected Return Date – Sunday 20th Oct v Wolves (a)
