Ilkay Gundogan Returns To Training

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has taken part in a light training session as he steps up his recovery from a knee ligament injury. Gundogan has not played since he damaged ligaments in his right knee during City's home match against Watford on December 14.

He was pictured taking part in an individual session with City's medical staff at the club's training ground on Tuesday. The Germany international joined City from Borussia Dortmund last summer and made 16 appearances for Pep Guardiola's side.

Gundogan also scored five times, including two goals in the 3-1 Champions League win over Barcelona, and his return to action next season would offer a welcome boost to Guardiola.
