Kevin De Bruyne will be out indefinitely, possibly until 2024, according to a dejected Pep Guardiola, who delivered the news during the pre-game press conference.
It’s a setback for City, especially after the summer transfers of Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan, two further assist and goal producers.

Despite this, he has yet to score a Premier League goal for City.
