The staffing problem continues to provide terrible news to Man City club. Following De Bruyne’s protracted absence, John Stones will now miss one month of activity.

Man City began the process of defending their English Premier League championship by defeating Burnley and Newcastle twice in a row. De Bruyne was gravely hurt, had just come off the operation table, and is anticipated to be sidelined for a few months, so Mr. Guardiola was unable to select his top lineup.

There is yet more to come. John Stones will be sidelined for roughly 4 weeks owing to a hip issue, the team doctor has also stated.

The Englishman missed two games against Burnley and Newcastle because of an injury he sustained during preseason training. John Stones will also miss the games against Fulham and Sheffield United in late August and early September.

“The team is losing a lot without both De Bruyne and Stones. Personally, I would need to find an other solution. I think everything will be fine since Man City has so many good players, according to coach Guardiola.

This center defender is anticipated to come back only after the team concentrates on the string of friendlies and Euro qualifying games from September 4 to 12.

With 34 appearances, John Stones played a significant role in Man City’s treble-winning campaign the previous year.
