Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne admits that he will consult manager Pep Guardiola if he is under strain from the club's intensive fixture schedule.

Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has admitted that he will consult manager Pep Guardiola if he is under strain from the club's intensive fixture schedule.

City, who are 12 points clear in the Premier League, are still fighting in four competitions this season after earning their place in the Carabao Cup final.

Belgian international De Bruyne has said, however, that he has been forced to take note of his involvement as City continue on all fronts.

"Of course there's some tiredness, but we go on," the 26-year-old told The Sun. "If I feel less in June, before the World Cup, I'll be honest with the manager.

"I'll tell him someone has to take my place."

City go up against Cardiff City in the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon looking to secure their passage into the fifth round.
