Last Saturday, he returned to the Citizens selection for the first time since mid-September. But Kevin De Bruyne, unlike Jeremy Doku, ultimately did not come up against Bournemouth, while the Skyblues were running behind the score (and ultimately lost).

But I try to restart it at the right time and in the right place.”
