New signing Ilkay Gundogan has given a projected return date from his current knee injury. According to "The Sun", Gundogan is hoping to return to fitness at the end of August or the start of September. Gundogan said of his return: “I hope to be fit by the end of August or first week of September. You can’t be absolutely sure and we gauge it week-by-week but that’s my target and if everything goes to plan it will be August. I may miss a couple of matches but that’s fine because I want to be ready for when I play my first game.”
