Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne has been absent from the squad due to injury but is now back on the bench for the game against Sheffield United. Phil Foden, who has been playing in the number 10 role in De Bruyne's absence, may see his position change with De Bruyne's return. Guardiola confirmed that De Bruyne is the closest to returning but they need to be careful with his comeback. This marks De Bruyne's first appearance since August 11, after 141 days of absence.
