De Bruyne fouled and injured by Pape SarrSubstituted in City's 2-0 winPep Guardiola's team can win title this weekendWHAT HAPPENED?
De Bruyne was caught on the Achilles by Pape Matar Sarr during City's 2-0 win over Spurs on Tuesday evening and substituted before Erling Haaland scored his second of the night, leaving them one victory away from Premier League glory. Pep Guardiola's side play West Ham this weekend and three points will ensure they secure a fourth-successive title, and De Bruyne expects to be able to play.

The Belgium international claims that the tackle felt like a "knife" going down his leg, but it appears the substitution was precautionary ahead of a huge game this weekend. Indeed, De Bruyne has provided 14 goal involvements in 17 league appearances this season and remains vital to the club's title hopes, even if City are expected to win on Sunday.
WHAT DE BRUYNE SAID
De Bruyne told Sky: "I think I'm alright. It's a bit sore, in that moment it felt a little bit like a knife going down my leg. But it's an impact injury so it's not bad, not bad. We will be alright."

City play West Ham on Sunday aiming to make history as the first team to win four-successive Premier League titles. Arsenal are two points behind but will hope the champions drop points, allowing them to potentially steal the crown from under their noses.
