Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, has put to rest any fears that Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne may have picked up an injury during their Champions League quarter-final match against Bayern Munich. The midfielder was taken off in the 68th minute and replaced by Julian Alvarez, but Guardiola has since revealed that it was a tactical decision and not because of an injury concern.
