Pep Guardiola press conference LIVE Kevin De Bruyne injury news ahead of Man City vs Leeds United

Pep Guardiola will speak to the media on Friday afternoon ahead of Manchester City's match with Leeds United.

City climbed back to the summit of the Premier League on Wednesday as they defeated West Ham United 3-0 to leapfrog Arsenal once more.

Three days later and the Blues will welcome relegation strugglers Leeds to the Etihad who will be playing their first game under new manager Sam Allardyce.

Nathan Ake returned and scored the opener against the Hammers but Kevin De Bruyne has missed the last two matches due to injury and Guardiola will likely be asked about the brilliant Belgian's condition going into the game. The record-breaking Erling Haaland and the upcoming clash with Real Madrid are likely to be hot topics as well.

Kevin De Bruyne is back in Manchester City training following a two-game absence. The Belgian missed the wins over Fulham and West Ham due to a leg knock having played a starring role in last month’s crucial 4-1 win over title rivals Arsenal.

His two goals helped City place the title destiny in their own hands again with the club still on course for the treble. The 31-year-old’s return to training comes as a huge boost for the Blues who face Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday after Leeds on Saturday.

The Whites are under new management after Javi Garcia was replaced by Sam Allardyce for the final four matches as the Yorkshire outfit battles against relegation. City are expected to null any new boss bounce and will be buoyed by the potential return of De Bruyne.
