Kevin De Bruyne is back!
Our Belgian Blue returned to match action in Saturday’s 5-0 triumph over Burnley, having endured a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a lateral collateral ligament lesion.
The 2017/18 Playmaker of the Year was sorely missed but now, ahead of schedule, he’s back to full fitness and raring to go.
We caught up with the midfield maestro, who talked us through his recovery - the hard work, effort and patience required, and the impact it had on his personal life, particularly with his wife Michelle heavily pregnant with their second child.
