City’s Kev revved up

- BY DAVID McDONNELL

KEVIN DE BRUYNE is set to make his long-awaited return for Manchester City.

Knee ligament damage has kept De Bruyne out since City’s opening game of the season.

But the Belgium internatio­nal, voted City’s Player of the Year last season, has been in full training for a fortnight.

And he is expected to figure against Burnley on Saturday at the Etihad.

De Bruyne could come in for Bernardo Silva, who has had an outstandin­g season so far for Pep Guardiola’s men but missed Portugal’s 3-1 win over Scotland because of injury.
