De aanvaller van Manchester City liep in augustus in de strijd om de Community Shield tegen Liverpool zijn kruisbandblessure op en kwam dit seizoen nog niet in actie in de Premier League.

“It felt really good,” vertelde de 24-jarige Duits international na de wedstrijd.
“It was good to get a general feeling of how it is to be back on the pitch and how quick it can all be. There’s still a gap until I’m 100% and on the level I was before. There’s no doubt about that, but generally, everything feels good. I feel confident and I had no problems, so I am happy with today. Of course it would be good if I could get back as soon as possible to the best I can be, like I was before. But I’m not putting a lot of pressure on myself to do that. I have to get used to the tempo and how quick it is because if you’re out for the time I was, you have to get up to speed.”

After injury, finally some minutes in the bank for Leroy Sane tonight.
