Phil Foden has returned to Manchester City training after undergoing appendix surgery last month.
The 22-year-old went under the knife during the last international break after suffering from appendicitis and was expected to be ruled out for up to four weeks.
He has made his comeback slightly ahead of schedule, and now looks to be in contention to play a role in City's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Bayern Munich tomorrow.
Foden's return is a welcome one for Pep Guardiola, with his side still in the hunt for three major trophies this season.
He now has a fully-fit squad to choose from for the trip to Munich as City head over to Germany with a 3-0 lead from the first leg last week.
Foden has been a key part of City's team in recent seasons but faces a challenge to get back into a side that is flying after winning 10 games on the bounce.
Bernardo Silva scored against Bayern at the Etihad Stadium, while Jack Grealish is in the best form of his City career and has become one of the first names on Guardiola's teamsheet.
Having Foden back as an option is a boost for City, though, who could have 14 more games left to play between now and the end of the season.
They face Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday, before a huge top-of-the-table clash with Arsenal next Wednesday.
City have closed the gap on the Gunners in Foden's absence, and are now just four points behind Mikel Arteta's team with a game in hand.
Victory for City over Arsenal would leave the title firmly in their hands as they aim for a fifth league triumph in six years.
