Injury blow as Man City man could miss Man Utd clash, Guardiola says he has “back problem”

Manchester City could be without Kevin De Bruyne against Manchester United on Sunday as he’s suffering from a “problem in his back”, according to Pep Guardiola. The 28-year-old was left out of City’s 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday to book their place in the FA Cup Quarter-Final and may not return in time for the Manchester derby.

Guardiola told Sky Sports in Wednesday’s post-match press conference: “Kevin had a problem (with his back). He was not fit. In the last game, the last minutes he fell down in a bad position and had a problem in his back.
