Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane says he is still some way from full fitness after admitting he has endured a “tough year”.
The former Manchester City star has played just 24 minutes of competitive action in the last 12 months after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the opening stages of the 2019 Community Shield against Liverpool at Wembley.
He was on the verge of making a comeback when the Premier League was shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic in March, meaning he did not pull on a sky blue shirt again until June, when he came on as a late substitute against Burnley in City’s first match of the restart.
