"Hopefully the symptoms will be minor and what's important is he comes back," Guardiola said. "When he comes back and is negative, he will start again to train with us as soon as possible."
De Bruyne played for Belgium at home against Estonia on Saturday and at Wales on Tuesday.
Guardiola also said forwards Jack Grealish and Phil Foden sustained injuries on duty with England's national team. Grealish is set to miss the Everton game but Foden hasn't been ruled out.
