De Bruyne returned after his injury as a substitute in the English Super Cup against Arsenal and in his league debut last Friday against Burnley, the Belgian started, but it only lasted 23 minutes.

According to Pep Guardiola, the team must analyze if they can really sign someone from guarantees in the last days of the market.
