Kevin De Bruyne acknowledges he is still far from his peak form following his return to action for Manchester City after a five-month injury layoff.
The Belgian midfielder, making his comeback in City’s 5-0 FA Cup win against Huddersfield, expressed satisfaction with his performance but emphasized the need for more time to regain full fitness.
De Bruyne underwent hamstring surgery, and despite feeling good on the pitch, he recognizes the importance of a gradual process.
The midfielder, greeted warmly by City fans, sees his return as a positive development for the team’s ambitions in the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup.
Reflecting on his injury-enforced break, De Bruyne finds a silver lining in the opportunity to refresh and spend quality time with family and friends.
