Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne will start in Tuesday’s Champions League game at RB Leipzig as he works his way back from a bout of Covid-19 but striker Gabriel Jesus has been ruled out with a knock, manager Pep Guardiola said.

De Bruyne missed four games in all competitions but came off the bench in Saturday’s 3-1 Premier League win at Watford.

“Kevin got coronavirus… it is a setback because people who get corona feel empty. But he will start tomorrow and we will see how many minutes he can play,” Guardiola told reporters on Monday.
