Saraya – Manchester City manager Kevin Guardiola said his star, Kevin De Bruin, would be absent for "a little while" because of a back thigh injury during a 1- 1- win 0 on Bournemouth in Premier League on Saturday.

De Bruin was injured in the first period and his Algerian substitute, Riad Mehrez, managed to score the only goal of the game, beating City by two points over Liverpool, who will face Everton on Sunday.

Defender John Stones was also injured and left the match, but the Englishman was not seriously injured.

"Kevin is going to be out for a while because of a back thigh problem, I think John has come out as a precaution," Guardiola told the British media.

De Bruyne was one of City's top players last season, scoring 12 goals and 21 in all competitions but injured this season and only 14 league games.

Guardiola believes that the city's busy schedule and the attempt to win the title of four tournaments are causing many injuries.

"We do not give players time to recover, we play a game and then play another game without finishing the recovery, there is little time, we will wait for the return of Kevin."
