Manchester City will travel to Greece without Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker for their UEFA Champions League Matchday Four clash with Olympiacos on Wednesday night, as confirmed by the club on Tuesday afternoon.
With Wednesday’s game favouring Pep Guardiola’s side, and their position in their group being relatively secure, it was always expected that the Catalan coach would hand out much-needed rest to some of the squad’s more heavily-worked players this season.
That has been confirmed by the club, with both Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker being left out of the travelling contingent – believed to be due to rotation purposes as both players trained as normal with the rest of the squad on Tuesday morning.
