Kevin De Bruyne took part in Manchester City's first-team training session on Tuesday morning as he steps up his recovery from a serious knee problem.
The Belgian international has been out since January with knee ligament damage, but recently revealed that he is on course to return to action in April.
Man City's hopes of having the attacker back before the end of March, however, have been boosted by his presence at the club's training ground on Tuesday.
"@DeBruyneKev in training and kicking a ball again as he steps up schedule," Man City tweeted.
The 24-year-old has scored 12 times in 31 appearances for Man City this season having made a £55m move to the Etihad from Wolfsburg last summer.
