Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson is delighted with Kevin de Bruyne's return to full fitness.
De Bruyne is set to start tonight at Brentford.
“It's just like chess – you have to protect the king [De Bruyne]! Now we have our 'king' back, one of the best assisters in Premier League history, third in the list now," said Ederson to City's website.
“We're so happy to have him back and playing good football, especially after such a long time out. He's a player that our team missed a lot because he has such ability – he finds passes that very few players can find.
“He gets assists, scores goals, plays good football, he keeps the ball, so I'm very happy that he's back and that he has returned to his high level.
“I hope that he can help us a lot for the rest of the season, not only him, but the whole group."
