Jurgen Klopp joked 'the whole country is starting to shake' as Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne nears a return from injury.

De Bruyne hasn't featured for the champions since the opening day win over Burnley. The Belgian suffered a recurrence of a hamstring injury at Turf Moor and has been sidelined ever since.

City fans were delighted to see De Bruyne named on the bench for Saturday's comfortable victory over Sheffield United, though Pep Guardiola admitted before the game he wasn't intending on handing the midfielder his second appearance of the season.

The City boss claimed De Bruyne wasn't quite ready for a return and that he had only named him in the squad so he could be part of the pre-match routine.
