Manchester City fans can breathe a sigh of relief as star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is expected to be fit for their crucial Premier League clash with Arsenal. De Bruyne, who missed the FA Cup quarterfinal win over Newcastle United and international friendlies with Belgium due to a groin injury, trained with the Under-23s on Tuesday and is set to rejoin first-team training on Thursday.
In more positive news for City, Jack Grealish is also back in training after recovering from a muscle injury. However, the club is sweating over the fitness of defenders Kyle Walker and John Stones, who are expected back from international duty by Friday.
City boss Pep Guardiola expressed his disappointment with the scheduling of the FA Cup semifinal against Chelsea, which has been moved to Saturday, leaving the team with little recovery time. This comes at a challenging time for City, who have a busy schedule with a Champions League quarterfinal, a Premier League match against Brighton, and a trip to Nottingham Forest all in close proximity.
Despite the setback, City remain optimistic about their chances in the upcoming fixtures as they look to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League table. Fans will be eagerly awaiting De Bruyne’s return to the starting lineup as they hope to secure another crucial victory in their title bid.
