Creates two chances off bench De Bruyne had one off-target shot, created two chances and sent in two inaccurate crosses after coming off the bench during Saturday's 2-1 win over Lecce.

Impact De Bruyne made his second appearance off the bench after his return from injury and had some displays of creativity with a pair of key passes but is still clearly and understandably far from what's expected from his fully-fit version. The debut campaign with Napoli didn't go as planned for the midfielder but he'll still have some chances to close it in a higher note and show that fans can have way better hopes for next season.

Returning in Torino fixture De Bruyne (thigh) has completed his ramp-up and has been selected for Friday's match against Torino, Gianluca Di Marzio relayed.

Impact De Bruyne was reportedly in decent shape upon heading back from Belgium and hasn't had any hiccup. He has missed four months due to a thigh injury that required surgery. He'll likely be eased into action, but he might be needed right away with Stanislav Lobotka (quad) and Scott McTominay (thigh) on the shelf and Frank Anguissa (thigh) also working his way back from a serious injury. He scored four PKs and provided two assists early in the season. He has notched at least one shot in his last three outings, piling up six attempts (two on target) and logging three key passes and three crosses (one accurate) over that span.
