'He's one of the best I've ever played with' - De Bruyne hails Fernandinho return

The midfielder has missed City's last four games through suspension, but his return will be welcomed by his team-mate

Kevin De Bruyne has praised the impact of Manchester City team-mate Fernandinho ahead of the Brazilian's return from suspension against West Ham on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old has missed the last four games after being sent off against Burnley at the start of January, but is likely to be included in Pep Guardiola's squad for the trip to London Stadium.

And with City sitting fifth in the Premier League, De Bruyne is looking forward to his return as his side look to keep their distant title hopes alive.
