Injured Manchester City forward Kevin De Bruyne is hopeful of returning to action after the current international break.
De Bruyne told City TV: "The injury is going good. I am training very well and thinking I am ahead of schedule, so I am looking to be back after the international break. It looks like I'm a couple of weeks ahead."
Without the 24-year-old, who has contributed 12 goals and 12 assists this season, City have fallen off the pace in the Premier League title race and are now facing a battle to retain fourth place.
De Bruyne said: "I think it is always frustrating for a player not to be there but from the moment it happened I switched my button and I am preparing myself to do well the next couple of games I will be there.
"It has been tough because we lost a couple of games in the league and we are a little bit behind, but we are there in the Champions League - looking forward to that obviously and hopefully we can do well."
