Manchester City are certainly very happy to hear this news and hope that Mohammed Salah will be absent for quite a long time. They can more easily take advantage of Liverpool's current situation and at any time can displace Liverpool at the top of the standings. De Bruyne's return is an improvement in performance for Manchester City and the absence of Mohammed Salah will be a disaster for Liverpool.
The absence of Mohammed salah is really gonna affect the performance of Liverpool because salah is there key player, just like what happened to Manchester City when Kevin de Bruyne had the injury they were finding it very difficult to perform, perhaps that's exactly what Liverpool will face. However is actually a very good advantage for Manchester City because since the Liverpool key player Mohammed salah will not be playing for a long time Manchester City will surely use it as an advantage to push Liverpool down from the first position, perhaps there is hope for Manchester City wining the premier League this season because they have all it takes to win it if Liverpool is out of there way.
