Pep Guardiola has been handed a major boost as Manchester City prepare to face Manchester United at Wembley.
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City squad is set to receive a significant boost as eight key players, including Kevin De Bruyne, return to training on Tuesday.
De Bruyne, a crucial midfielder and playmaker, will be a welcome addition to the team as they prepare to face Manchester United in the Community Shield.
His return is particularly important, given his influence on City's gameplay and his ability to control the tempo of matches. His presence will be vital in helping City overcome their recent struggles in the Community Shield, where they have suffered three consecutive defeats.
