According to SPORTbible, De Bruyne had been nursing a hamstring injury sustained in City's win over Burnley on the opening day of the Premier League season.
However, he has since returned to action, announcing his comeback with a goal and an assist during City's recent 3-2 win away at Newcastle United.
