Leroy Sane moving ‘surprisingly well’ but Guardiola won’t put a timescale on return

Despite moving well on his return to training, there is no timescale for Leroy Sane to make his comeback from injury.

Leroy Sane is moving “surprisingly well” but there is no timescale for his Manchester City return.

Sane is back in full training for Pep Guardiola’s men having been on the sidelines since August after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the Community Shield.

Guardiola was pleased with what he saw from the former Schalke forward on the training pitch but would not commit to a concrete date for Sane’s first appearance of the campaign.

“He moves surprisingly really well,” Guardiola told a media conference ahead of City’s Premier League clash with Tottenham.

Asked for a timescale, he added: “I don’t know, he needs a little bit more time I think so, but we’ll see.”

Sane was heavily linked with a move to Bayern Munich when he injured his knee, having rejected the offer of a new contract from City, and talk of a switch has never really subsided.

However, there have been some suggestions that a move back to his homeland is not as sure fire as it once seemed.
