Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has allayed injury fears regarding midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.

The Belgian international was taken off late against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter final first leg.

City won the game 3-0, with De Bruyne playing a key role in the contest until his removal, which seemed to coincide with a knock to his knee.

Tactical decision. Julian for him," Guardiola explained bringing on Julian Alvarez for De Bruyne.

I saw the performance and took the decision, in that moment we needed extra energy from Julian. I am here to take the decisions and it is my biggest quality."
