Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry is making good progress in his recovery from a hernia operation but is not setting a comeback date.
"Being out so long does give you time to think about things and it makes me realise how lucky I've been in terms of injuries and the amount of games I've played throughout my career. "I've been training with the first team for a fortnight now and getting back into the swing of things again. "I'm not a good spectator and I don't enjoy watching the games - I'd much rather be out there playing so I'm obviously really looking forward to getting my season off and running again."
