Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne says he can understand Raheem Sterling's frustration.

De Bruyne was speaking today at City's Champions League presser.

Asked about Sterling's suggestion he could leave the club in search of regular football, De Bruyne said: "Rotation is important but I understand the frustration.

"Sometimes it is tough to play one game and then miss then next, but obviously it is the manager who has to make those choices.

"We have a group of 22 or 23 internationals who are unbelievable so when the team plays good, it can be frustrating as a player.

"But we are all supportive of each other."
