Manchester City duo Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne have reunited in training, in what will be a sight that sparks fears into their Premier League rivals.

The midfielder returned to Man City duty this week following Belgium’s World Cup exit after they finished behind beaten semi-finalists Croatia and Morocco in the group stage.

While a big worry for Man City’s rivals is that Haaland will be fresh and raring to go, as he was able to get a break with Norway not qualifying for the tournament in Qatar.

The pair struck up a fierce partnership in the opening months to the Premier League season.

Haaland has made a blistering start to life in England followed his summer move from Borussia Dortmund, scoring 18 league in just 14 games.

De Bruyne meanwhile leads the league’s assist charts with nine to his name so far this season, with five of those setting up the Norwegian striker.

After their shock 2-1 defeat to Brentford before the World Cup break, they sit five points off league leaders Arsenal.

City have an intense return to action following this Sunday’s final in Qatar between France and Argentina.
