De Bruyne missed Man City’s last two games against Fulham and West Ham United due to a bruised foot.
There have been worries about De Bruyne missing the clash against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
However, Guardiola while speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of the Leeds clash said: “He trained yesterday, trained good. Today we train, and we decide after training.
“Losing or missing just one week or ten days in this stage of the season is not a problem. The same happened with Nathan (Ake). If he’s fit, he can play.”
De Bruyne has been in sparkling form this season, scoring nine goals and providing an astounding 27 assists in 42 matches across competitions for Man City.
