Kevin De Bruyne
Makes bench for Pisa tilt
De Bruyne (eye) is an option, but won't get the nod from the jump in Sunday's contest versus Pisa.
Analysis: De Bruyne will eventually make a cameo after being forced to skip one match because of a wound. Eljif Elmas is taking his place over Giovane between the lines. De Bruyne has scored and assisted once, in the same game, in the previous five rounds, adding four shots (three on target), 10 chances created and 22 crosses (five accurate).
Out to face Bologna
De Bruyne (eye) is out for Monday's match against Bologna.
Analysis: De Bruyne was labeled a late call just ahead of Monday's match and will miss out altogether, as the midfielder is suffering from an eye injury. He is a starter, so this does force a change, with Giovane working into the starting XI in his place. A return for De Bruyne is not known, although only two games remain in the season.
Questionable for Bologna match
De Bruyne might miss Monday's game versus Bologna because of a late minor physical problem, Sky Italy reported.
Analysis: De Bruyne picked up a small injury in the last training session and might be spared altogether. Giovane is currently considered the favorite to start next to Alisson Santos. Frank Anguissa and Matteo Politano would also be candidates to fill in if De Bruyne were ruled out.
