Leroy Sane has said his recovery from knee ligament damage "was the hardest and longest injury" of his career, with the German now working his way back to full fitness.
According to Jack Collins of the Mirror, the winger revealed the battle he's faced after suffering the injury during the FA Community Shield against Liverpool last August.
"It is difficult, especially the first day after the surgery because you can't move at all and that's not something any of us athletes are used to.
"You have to push yourself every day because you know it's a long rehab, but it is a good opportunity to work more on other weaknesses and that's why I took it as a chance to recover well and come back strong.
