(Reuters) - Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne will start in Tuesday's Champions League game at RB Leipzig as he works his way back from a bout of COVID-19 but striker Gabriel Jesus has been ruled out with a knock, manager Pep Guardiola said.

De Bruyne missed four games in all competitions after contracting COVID-19 during the international break https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/man-citys-de-bruyne-tests-positive-covid-19-2021-11-19 last month, but came off the bench in Saturday's 3-1 Premier League win at Watford.
