Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is preparing to face a midfield nightmare after Kevin de Bruyne was ruled out of the opening weeks of his side's season.
Guardiola led his side to winning the treble last season, picking up their third successive Premier League title, the FA Cup and the club's first-ever Champions League. But the Spaniard is set for a major squad overhaul this summer, which could impact his options.
Captain Ilkay Gundogan has left the Etihad Stadium after the end of his contract and has joined Barcelona. Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva also appears to be on his way out, with a lucrative offer for the Portuguese international coming in from the Saudi Pro League.
