Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne in contention to face Barcelona

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has allayed fears over Kevin De Bruyne's injury. 

The Belgian limped off during Saturday's win over Swansea with a hamstring problem. 

Kevin De Bruyne has travelled to Barcelona for treatment but Guardiola doesn't expect him to be out for a lengthy period of time. 

Speaking ahead of Wednesday's clash with Celtic, the City boss said:  "It is not a big injury. 

"In two-and-a-half, maybe three weeks, he will be ready." 

The news comes as a massive boost for City with De Bruyne now in contention to face Barcelona on October 19. 

However, he should also be fit for the Manchester derby in the EFL Cup the following Wednesday. 

Guardiola also confirmed Vincent Kompany, who travelled to Spain with his countryman, would face a similar spell out of the side.
