K. De Bruyne has already started training with the team

Kevin De Bruyne ignores doctors' forecasts and has already started sweating with the team in joint training sessions.

In mid-August, a cruciate ligament injury was diagnosed for the Belgian. According to forecasts, the footballer was not supposed to appear on the field for about three months, but the healing process was faster than expected.

Despite the fact that the midfielder is already running freely and playing with the ball, his return to the field will take time. It is estimated that it could take up to three or more weeks.

It is realistic that K. De Bruyne will return to the lineup after the international break, which ends on October 19.

Last season, the Belgian was a key player within "Man City" - he scored 12 goals and made 21 assists in 52 matches played.
