Manchester City star Sane offers fitness update after eight months on the sidelines

The Germany international winger suffered knee ligament damage in the Community Shield and was close to return when competitive football shut down

Leroy Sane says he was ready to step back into the fold at Manchester City just as football shut down amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The Germany international winger suffered knee ligament damage during a Community Shield outing against Liverpool in August 2019. A long road to recovery has now kept him out of competitive action for eight months, with it yet to be determined when he will be given a green light to step back onto the field.
