​Man City midfielder De Bruyne admits he's struggled this season

Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne is very happy with the fact he is getting regular game time.

The midfielder has spent a large portion of this season out with knee problems. He has only started two Premier League games all season.

But he has been back for the past few weeks. And he believes every game improves his match fitness.

"I'm getting better obviously," De Bruyne said. "You need the run of games where you play a lot because I'm not used to playing every three days. But I'm getting there. I'm happy with the way I'm performing. It's not the same like it was last year, but that's what you can expect.

"I've been out since the World Cup and to come back twice is mentally hard, but I'm happy to be here to play football again."
