Kevin De Bruyne 'Nowhere Near' His Best After Manchester City Return
Kevin De Bruyne admits he is "nowhere near" his best yet after the Manchester City midfielder made his return from a five-month injury absence. De Bruyne came off the bench in the second half of City's 5-0 win against Huddersfield in the FA Cup third round on Sunday. Playing for the first time since the opening day of the Premier League season against Burnley in August, the Belgium star was given the last 33 minutes and was quickly back in the old routine as he set up City's fifth goal for Jeremy Doku. De Bruyne had hamstring surgery after aggravating a problem that had affected him in the latter stages of last season's treble-winning campaign. Although he is back to fitness, De Bruyne said he needs time to get up to full speed. "I worked hard and I'm happy to be back.
