Manchester City star Leroy Sane has provided a positive update regarding his fitness.

Sane has been absent since the beginning of the season due to a knee injury he suffered in the Community Shield against Liverpool in August.

The German has been recovering from the ACL injury, but he recently completed his first pitch session.

Sane posted on Instagram, with the picture showing him in football boots. The text on the post read "First pitch session done!"

City fans will be hoping he is back soon, with his manager Pep Guardiola having previously predicted he would be ready anytime from December to February.

Sane is a rumoured transfer target for Bayern Munich, but any move would likely not happen until the summer.
