Kevin De Bruyne Reportedly Hopeful of December Return from Knee Injury

Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is reportedly ahead of schedule in his recovery from a knee ligament injury and is hopeful of returning to action in early December.

Per Jack Gaughan of the MailOnline, the 27-year-old is making good progress following his knee ligament issue, which he picked up in the Carabao Cup clash with Fulham on November 1.

"De Bruyne is desperate to make himself fully available for the title clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on December 8," said Gaughan. It's added De Bruyne also wants to be in contention for the matches with Bournemouth on December 1 and Watford on December 4.
