Manchester City ace Kevin De Bruyne has expressed his delight at being back in the starting lineup.

The Belgian international got a chance to start against Burnley in the Premier League on Wednesday.

City were comfortable 3-1 winners on the night, with De Bruyne grabbing an assist.

"I'm happy, it's been six months. I've been working really hard and training for a long time," said De Bruyne post-game.

"I've been coming off the bench three or four times, I can't remember exactly. I've felt pretty good.

"I feel a little bit tired now but I think it's normal. I still need a couple of more games and minutes under my belt but I'm happy with the way I'm performing.

"I didn't expect to be out for five or six months. But it's a good thing."
