MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester City playmaker Kevin de Bruyne missed training earlier due to a personal issue but he is available for Thursday's Premier League home meeting with Tottenham Hotspur, manager Pep Guardiola said.
Guardiola added that defender Ruben Dias, who has been out since sustaining a hamstring injury while playing for Portugal at the World Cup, is also in contention along with fellow centre back John Stones, who missed their last two games.
"They are back. In the last two training sessions they have trained and are in contention. We will train this afternoon. We will see the way we have to play and who is going to play." The team is facing attacking issues after they registered only one shot on target in their last two games."To create chances, you have to play well, with a good build up to spread the defensive line. We've struggled in the last two games.
