Not good news for everyone at City, the players affected by De Bruyne’s return to the team

Manchester City Belgian player Kevin De Bruyne was one of the main news for the media and the fans in the last few days, as the veteran playmaker returned to the team during the FA Cup third round clash against Huddersfield Town in the Etihad, and his presence in the team would force Guardiola to set new plans for the team affecting several top players in the squad.

In this sense, it would be worth remembering that De Bruyne return to the pitch in the 57th of the minute against the Terriers, when he replaced Julian Alvarez, who could be now living hard days in his career as a Citizen player after having covered the absence of the Belgian playmaker during the four months that he was on the sidelines due to a long term ACL injury.

However, Julian, who has been pointed as the first member of the squad to be affected by De Bruyne’s return, could not be the only one suffering the consequences of the Belgian superstars’ presence in the team, and players such as Matheus Nunes, who was sign to cover the absence of De Bruyne in the Premier League transfer market deadline, could be forgotten by Guardiola in the next few games.

Several players could be forgotten by Guardiola

In this respect, even the young players of the team could be equally affected by the veteran’s return, and Micah Hamilton or Oscar Bobb, who have gotten important minutes on the team this season, could be equally removed from the lineup or the squad regularly given the importance of the iconic Belgian superstar in Pep Guardiola’s system.
