Gundogan moved to Man City before the start of last season from Borussia Dortmund. The German became the main one at the Ethihad Stadium, but the campaign for him ended in December due to a knee injury.

"My recovery is going well. I work hard. I started preparing for 2 weeks before the team, but it was necessary. I still have a lot of work to do to return to the field, but I'm ready for it, "Gundogan said..

"Waiting for the team to return. Maybe I can start with each training with them - warm-ups, perepasovki, tactical exercises. And then, in a few weeks, I will be able to participate in full training and, of course, games ".

Manchester City will start the season in the Premier League duel against Brighton on August 12.
