There is nothing that gives any club and coach very good confidence if his squad depth is very nice. Last season Manchester City had a very good squad depth and in the absence of Kevin de bruyne, Gundogan is always in the midfield covering up, but now both of them are not in the midfield and the impact is felt in Man City matches. If it is true that Kevin will have fuor months without playing, it therefore means that Manchester City obviously needs midfielder to carry until Kevin is back to the squad.
The impact of De Bruyne's absence is of course very large for the team, Pep Guardiola of course will not remain silent seeing a situation like that, I think Manchester City's management will be active again in the market to look for additional power for the midfield. According to reports Manchester City are in the hunt for Paquita from West Ham and City are almost certain to sign the Brazilian midfielder to take him to the Etihad Stadium.
Yes, Guardiola is very confused about the situation but I believe he has enough alternatives to overcome the void left by De Bruyne. Manchester City is a very complete team in the EPL and even though there has been a slight impact due to KDB's injury they are still very strong. Kovacic, who is a new recruit, is very reliable even though his typical game is still below KDB, but he is a midfielder who is quite experienced too. But I'm sure KDB's injury is not a big problem for City because previously Manchester City were often left behind by the Belgian midfielder in very crucial matches.
