De Bruyne resumes training and edges closer to Manchester City return

The Belgium international has begun kicking a ball again after picking up a knee injury in the Capital One Cup semifinal with Everton in January.

Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne is edging closer to a return to first-team action after resuming training on Tuesday.

The Belgium international has been sidelined since injuring his knee in the second leg of his side's Capital One Cup semifinal with Everton in January.

Initial reports suggested De Bruyne would be out until April, but the fact that he is back on the training pitch is a major boost for Manuel Pellegrini's side.
