There could be good news on the Man City injury front as it appears goalkeeper Claudio Bravo could return from the sidelines sooner than expected.

It was initially predicted that the Chilean would miss the entirety of the season after rupturing his achilles tendon, forcing manager Pep Guardiola to promote Aro Muric to number two.

But he recently shared a video of himself running on a cross trainer, which could point to an earlier than anticipated return for the shot stopped.

The video was in response to reports in Chile that Bravo had suffered an infection post surgery and would not only be ruled out for the season but also this summer's Copa America.

The reports were denied by the Blues.

Another player to return from injury - hopefully sooner - is left-back Benjamin Mendy, who has been out since November after undergoing knee surgery.

Pep Guardiola recently offered an update on the Frenchman's condition and he should be back in action for when the Champions League resumes in February.

Guardiola said: “He's much better, not with the team, maybe two or three weeks and he'll be with us. everyone else is fit."

Elsewhere, City captain Vincent Kompany is a 'slight doubt' for this Sunday's clash with Huddersfield Town at the John Smith's Stadium with a muscle injury.

However, fellow Belgian Kevin de Bruyne looks raring to return to the starting eleven after playing 30 minutes in the 3-0 win over Wolves on Monday night and setting up the third goal.
