Pep Guardiola updates Kevin De Bruyne, Vincent Kompany injuries

The two Belgians at Manchester City are injured, and they might be back sooner than we expected.

Vincent Kompany and Kevin De Bruyne suffered muscle problems in a space of four days at Liberty Stadium against Swansea City, and both were set for more than a month on the sidelines. But the two players traveled to Barcelona for further testing, and the extent of their injuries isn't as bad as originally thought.

Kompany has a groin injury, while Kevin sustained a hamstring problem and looked set to miss the Champions League trip to Barcelona for a giant match against Barcelona, but according to the latest update provided by Pep Guardiola, both might be fit in time to face the Catalan giants.

“We have ten days [after Spurs] which will help us - we need most of them back. The same with Delph. I don’t know - maybe two or three weeks they will be ready. I don’t know if they will be ready for Everton or for Barcelona - we’ll see next time.

“The injuries are not so, so tough as they seemed in the first impression. Usually a muscle injury is a month but we’re going to wait and see.”
