Roberto Martinez confirms Kevin De Bruyne will NOT feature against Arsenal as he is not ‘100 per cent fit’ after feeling pain in his ankle during his 16 minute stint against Tottenham

Roberto Martinez has revealed that Kevin De Bruyne will not play against Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend.

The midfielder sustained damage to his ankle ligament while playing for Belgium in the European Championship this summer and missed all of City's pre-season as a result.

However, he did feature against Tottenham in Manchester City's opening game of the 2021-2022 season - playing a total of 16 minutes.
