Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Kevin de Bruyne will soon begin starting games.
De Bruyne was again a second-half substitute for their FA Cup win at Tottenham last night.
"He's ready," said Guardiola. I don't know [when], sooner or later he is going to play from the beginning.
For many reasons we want to protect him. Always we have the sense he is going to create something.
It's important that he can feel good and understand problems. He made an exceptional corner in the right spot - really good."
