Manchester City attacker Kevin de Bruyne is tipped to return from injury ahead of schedule.
The Manchester Evening News says De Bruyne is in line to return to the Manchester City side for the Champions League group game with Barcelona next Wednesday.
And with his rehab going well, he could even be considered for this weekend's home match with Everton.
De Bruyne damaged his hamstring in the win over Swansea three-and-a-half weeks ago and was sent to Barcelona to be assessed by Dr Ramon Cugat, a trusted specialist who has worked closely with City manager Pep Guardiola in the past.
De Bruyne's injury was not as bad as first feared and he is now set for involvement in at least one of City's next two matches.
