Sterling set to return from injury quicker than expected

Raheem Sterling is set for a swift Manchester City return from injury, according to the Mirror.

Sterling has been out with a groin injury since the Manchester derby and he was seen as a doubt for Euro 2016.

However, the 21-year old is well ahead of schedule and could even make the Manchester City squad for the upcoming trip to Chelsea.

City have been back on form in Sterling’s absence, recording wins in the Premier League against Bournemouth and West Brom as well as the all-important Champions League victory over PSG.

City will be hoping that Sterling can have a similar impact to Kevin De Bruyne and Samir Nasri, who have both scored pivotal goals in recent games.

While they will also be hoping that captain Vincent Kompany will return sooner rather than later as City look to finish the season in strongly before Pep Guardiola takes the reins in the summer.
