Kevin De Bruyne injury: Manchester City star to miss Premier League clash vs Leicester, Pep Guardiola confirms
Kevin De Bruyne will NOT be fit to play Manchester City’s Premier League clash against Leicester due to injury, Pep Guardiola has confirmed.De Bruyne, the Belgium international, suffered a suspected muscle injury during last month’s 1-0 defeat of Tottenham, which forced him to be withdrawn before half-time.2

De Bruyne was forced to leave the pitch due to the injury he suffered against Spurs

He’s endured a fractured season beset by multiple injuries, and Guardiola admits he remains in the dark over De Bruyne’s fitness.Guardiola said: “I don’t know when he will be fit. Next Monday he is not available.”Midfielder Fernandinho is also a doubt for the match, which could win City the Premier League title should Liverpool lose to Newcastle on Saturday evening.Guardiola added: “I don’t know. I didn’t speak with the doctors.” If Liverpool beat Newcastle the title race will go down to the final day of the season. A defeat of Leicester on Monday means City will be one point ahead of their rivals, with Guardiola’s side visiting Brighton and Liverpool hosting Wolves next weekend.The former Barcelona boss is ignoring his rivals, however.“What we have to do is play Leicester,” Guardiola continued. “I am really impressed with them in their last games.

The Manchester City boss also hailed the work done by Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers in such a short space of time.Rodgers left Scottish champions Celtic for Leicester in February.“Brendan has shown his incredible qualities as a manager,” Guardiola said.“In two months they already play the way he wants them to play.”2

Liverpool fans hope Rodgers does his former team a favour by beating City

Guardiola feels that both Rodgers and Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez – both former Liverpool managers – will be aiming to win against the top two sides.Newcastle host title challengers Liverpool on Monday.“It’s the same. Brendan and Rafa were in Liverpool but they’ll want to win,” the Spaniard added.“I cannot imagine them not wanting to win the games.”“I cannot imagine Leicester’s players will come here for a holiday. They are going to try to make a good game.”
