Manchester, Aug. 16, 2017 (Reuters/NAN) Ilkay Gundogan made his first appearance in eight months for Manchester City on Tuesday, when he came on as a second-half substitute against Girona in a friendly in Spain.
The German midfielder, who suffered knee ligament damage against Watford last December, could be in contention for a place in the squad for Monday’s home tie against Everton.
Girona beat City 1-0 with the 26-year-old coming on as a substitute in the 71st minute.
City beat promoted Brighton and Hove Albion 2-0 in their Premier League opener on Saturday. (Reuters/NAN)
