Impact The star playmaker was an unused sub in the 2-1 loss to Bournemouth on Saturday, and he will be an option for Pep Guardiola in this European contest.

Impact De Bruyne is seeing improvements in his health after training but will still need more time after not feeling completely comfortable.

Impact De Bruyne will likely be available in some capacity before the November camp, but will be working to prioritize his recovery with Manchester City. At this stage of his career and with how injury prone he is, it makes sense for De Bruyne to be cautious with his recovery.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Back after break De Bruyne (groin) won't be back until after the international break, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "Hopefully after the international break, he will be back."

Impact De Bruyne had an outside chance of returning before the break, but another few days of recovery have now indicated he will need the extra time. The attacking midfielder will be out against Slovan Bratislava and Fulham, with eyes on a return during an October 20 trip to Wolves.

Targeting retun before break De Bruyne (groin) is targeting a return before the international break, according to Pep Guardiola.

Impact De Bruyne is expected to miss an extended period with the groin issue, but is hoping to get back before the break.

Impact De Bruyne looks to already be nearing a return after just going down with a groin injury. He will still miss out on Tuesday's Carabao Cup match, but is now uncertain for Saturday's match against Newcastle, implying he likely won't miss more than two or three matches following his absence against Arsenal on Sunday. If this is the case, this would be huge news for the club, as he is a regular starter when fit and missed much of the start of last season due to injury.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Sunday De Bruyne (groin) is not in the squad to face Arsenal on Sunday.

Impact De Bruyne misses out on Sunday's fixture after picking up a groin injury mid week in the Champions League. Bernardo Silva looks to be set up more centrally in midfield with Savinho and Jeremy Doku on the wings in De Bruyne's absence.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Could play Sunday De Bruyne (groin) could play some part during Sunday's clash with Arsenal, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "He feels a little better today... Tomorrow we train and we will see....

Impact De Bruyne was originally expected to be ruled out according to the Mirror, but it seems he could play some part. This is a familiar story for the attacking midfielder, he picks up a small injury, plays through it, and then misses multiple months. While it's possible he could play with no complications there's obviously some concern given De Bruyne's less-than-stellar injury record. If De Bruyne can't go it would give Ilkay Gundogan more minutes.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Arsenal De Bryune (groin) is expected to miss Sunday's clash with Arsenal, David McDonnell of the Mirror reports.

Impact De Bruyne is not expected to play during Sunday's clash, though the club hasn't officially ruled him out yet. That's obviously disappointing for such a crucial clash, though the good news is he's not expected to be out long-term. If De Bruyne is on the sideline, City would likely turn to returning midfielder Ilkay Gundogan.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off De Bruyne was forced off with an apparent groin injury during Wednesday's clash with Inter.

Impact De Bruyne was able to make it to half time but after being examined he couldn't carry on. Ilkay Gundogan came on to replace him, and could be in line for more chances in the starting XI in the coming weeks if De Bruyne is ruled out moving forward.

Whips In five crosses De Bruyne recorded two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 2-1 win against Brentford.

Impact De Bruyne had another solid performance Saturday, although it wasn't to the amazing standards his last two outings set, as he would record two shots, five crosses and five chances created in the win. However, he has now gone two straight games without a goal contribution, only having managed to bag two in four appearances this season, with both coming in the same contest.

Impact De Buryne had another phenomenal day leading the attack as the club continues without Phil Foden (illness), with the Belgian notching six shots, six chances created and 13 crosses in the win. This is now three straight exceptional performances, notching one goal on 12 shots and one assist on 11 chances created to go along with 24 crosses in the club's three games thus far. With number's like this, he is likely to see more goal contributions in the furture, although his value could take a hit once Foden is back healthy.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Two goal contributions in win De Bruyne scored one goal and assisted once from four shots and four chances created in Saturday's 4-1 win over Ipswich Town.

Impact De Bruyne registered his first and second goal contributions of the season in City's second match of the season Saturday, as he would find the. net in the 14th minute and assist on an Erling Haaland goal in the 16th minute. He was very involved outside of his goal contributions as well, adding four shots, four chances created and seven crosses. That said, he looks to be at top form again, with a pace set to register 38 goal contributions this season, although that is bound to change soon only being two games into the season.

Solid in attack De Bruyne generated two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Chelsea.

Impact De Bruyne saw a decent start of the year despite walking away with zero goal contributions in their season opener, as he would register one chance created, two shots and four crosses. He will look to remain healthy this season after an injury-filled 2023/24 campaign, as he still proved his worth after his injury spell by providing 14 goal contributions in 18 appearances. He also see decent usage on set pieces, adding even more to an already productive fantasy player.
