Manchester City a boost on Tuesday when Kevin de Bruyne returned to full first team training.
Following their week-long training trip in Abu Dhabi, Pep Guardiola and his players stepped up their preparations for the resumption of the season by returning to full training at the City Football Academy. This time though De Bruyne was involved.
De Bruyne was one of 16 City players to jet off to Qatar to take part in the World Cup, but his Belgium side suffered a surprise group-stage exit. The Red Devils failed to make it out of their group after picking up four points from three games, and after their goalless draw with Croatia on 1st December returned home.
