City are not believed to be battling any other new injury concerns aside from De Bruyne ahead of the visit of Arsenal, with versatile defender Nathan Ake still sidelined as a result of the thigh injury he suffered while away on international duty with the Netherlands earlier this month.

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Kevin de Bruyne may well be fit in time to feature in Manchester City ’s big game against Arsenal on Sunday.
