LEROY SANE made his return for Manchester City last night – after SEVEN months out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
The German winger played in City‘s Premier League 2 match as the Under-23s took on Arsenal.
Sane, wanted by Bayern Munich last summer, was badly injured in the Community Shield final against Liverpool.
His return is a huge boost for Etihad boss Pep Guardiola, as he looks for a cup treble of Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
Sane was replaced by Lian Delap, the son of ex-Stoke star Rory Delap after nearly an hour.
It was a steady return for the Germany international, still set for a summer move back to his home country with Munich again in the hunt.
Adrian Bernabe struck twice for City.
Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Jayden Jezairo Braaf also struck.
Arsenal were 2-1 up but the visitors scored three goals in the last 11 minutes – including two in the final six minutes – to secure a convincing win at the Emirates Stadium.
It was a very young City side.
However, the Gunners team featured defender Rob Holding and midfielder Reiss Nelson as subs and Ashley Maitland-Niles started.
City take on Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup final tomorrow.
