Kevin de bruyne

The FIFA Club World Cup: Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola provided an update on Kevin De Bruyne's injury saying the midfielder is closing in on a return, but added the FIFA Club World Cup may come too soon for the Belgian.

De Bruyne, the Belgian who hasn't featured for the champions since the opening day of the season after suffering a hamstring injury which required surgery, has been included in the City's squad bound for the FIFA Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia later this month, but Guardiola says he doesn’t know if he is able to take part at this point.

The Belgian has returned to light training but is yet to train with the squad under normal training conditions.
