Foden: Man City players buzzing to have De Bruyne back

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden says he and his teammates are excited to have Kevin De Bruyne back.

De Bruyne returned for the FA Cup win against Huddersfield after recovering from a hamstring injury in the opening game of the season.

“Everyone was buzzing to have him back," said Foden, who scored twice on the day.

“If we're going to win anything, we need him at it.

“He's one of the best players in the world, no one can do what he does.

“You could see the stadium roaring when he came on and it just shows how big and important he is for us. To have him back on the field, it gives us a lift as well.

“I am delighted for him to come back and hopefully he remains injury free because we need him."
