The Belgian was put through his paces in Tokyo on Saturday as he works his way back from a hamstring injury which forced him off in the first half of the Champions League final.
One of the world’s best midfielders, De Bruyne had enjoyed another standout season at City in 2022/23, grabbing ten goals and an astonishing 31 assists in all competitions.

He finished third in the 2022 Ballon D’Or rankings, and was once again included in the FIFPro World XI back in February 2023.
Our no. 17 will be aiming to hit similar heights next season, and he was working hard to ensure he’s ready for the new campaign.
You will be able to see more from that session in our Tokyo episode of Inside City after we depart for Seoul on Thursday.
After finishing his workout, De Bruyne offered his time to some of City’s young Japanese fans who have made their support for the Club well known throughout our time in Japan.
Watch him meet some delighted fans in the video above...
