The Belgian midfielder smoothly reintegrated into practice alongside his City teammates, playfully nudging the ball as he made his initial touch after being sidelined due to an injury during the opening Premier League match against Burnley earlier in the season.

De Bruyne participated in training sessions alongside his fellow City players in Saudi Arabia, gearing up for their upcoming Club World Cup semi-final against Urawa Reds. However, notable absentee Erling Haaland, dealing with a foot injury, was not seen during the sessions.

Pep Guardiola’s squad is set to encounter the Japanese team in the Club World Cup semi-final scheduled for Tuesday. The victorious side will proceed to face Fluminense, the Brazilian team, in the tournament’s final. Following this, City will head back to England to face Everton in the Premier League clash on December 27.
