Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said Kevin De Bruyne is in "much better" condition ahead of Thursday's clash with Liverpool in the Premier League.
De Bruyne's season has been significantly disrupted by injury problems and he sat out the 3-1 win over Southampton on Sunday with another problem.
That cast doubts over whether or not he would be able to feature in the huge game at the Etihad Stadium against the Reds, although Guardiola said on the eve of the match the Belgian is in contention to play in this encounter, per Jamie Jackson of the Guardian.
