Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Kevin de Bruyne could see action in their next game against Newcastle.
De Bruyne has recovered from a long-term hamstring injury and was on the bench for victory Sheffield United.
Guardiola said: He is almost close. We asked each other to come to the bench, to start to be in the locker room. It's been three months, a lot of time he's been out.
He's training good and he'll start to get minutes to get his best. It's incredible news.
We're also waiting on Jeremy (Doku), Erling (Haaland) and John Stones. The second part of the season is already here and we'll need everyone."
