Kevin De Bruyne has praised Manchester City teammate Jeremy Doku, saying he has suddenly gotten ‘a lot better’ very recently.
The midfielder has been speaking to Het Nieuwsblad about his return to the national team following another busy season with Manchester City.
He’s faced frustration this year as he spent large periods of the season out of action, with a hamstring injury ruling him out for 127 days between August and December.
De Bruyne was not the only Manchester City to face frustration on that front this season either, with injuries also hampering Doku throughout the campaign.
