Manchester City's Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne returned to training on Monday in a bid to step up his recovery process from a knee injury. According to an ESPNFC report, De Bruyne, who was ruled out for three months after picking up a collateral ligament injury in August, could return to action ahead of the Manchester derby on November 11.

"He's making the last steps, starting training in part in the next days -- part of the training session with us. So everything is going well," Guardiola was quoted as having said by ESPNFC ahead of City's 2-0 win over Brighton on Saturday.
