Watch 2nd half Man City 0-1 Sevilla | UEFA SUPER CUP FINALS

Phil Foden and Cole Palmer start for Manchester City in tonight’s UEFA Super Cup final against Sevilla.

Kevin De Bruyne, however, is injured.

De Bruyne picked up another serious hamstring injury during Friday’s opening Premier League win over Burnley, forcing him off in the first half.

Man City boss Pep Guardiola has since confirmed that the Belgian faces a lengthy period on the sidelines, with worrying reports that he could even be sidelined until the New Year.

“It’s serious – a big blow, really tough for us,” Guardiola said. “We have to decide whether he has surgery or no surgery but it will be a few months out. In the next days we will decide on surgery.

“The injury is a big loss, Kevin has specific qualities. You can lose him for one or two games but for a long time it’s really tough for us. But you have to look forward.

“We have alternatives with different skills, different talents. It’s another opportunity [for others] – life gives you that. I’m pretty sure they will take it.”
