Manchester City attacker Leroy Sane is grateful to his teammates for their support as he worked his way back from knee surgery.

Sane was on the brink of a comeback before the coronavirus shutdown, having been out since damaging his cruciate in August's Community Shield.

He said: “The whole team supported me, of course.

“But I was especially talking to (Ilkay) Gundogan and (Benjamin) Mendy about the injury, what they did, what could happen and their experience with everything.

“It helped me a lot to know how certain stuff feels and what can happen.

"I'm pleased they pushed me along with that."
