De Bruyne wont be rushed. I actually don't think we will see him until the back end of January/ start of February.
Looking at our fixtures until February/March time, only Newcastle away stands out. Other than that I think pretty much every side is in the bottom 10 if I recall.
Haaland is a concern, and seeing him being away this week abroad with a few different coaches gives me the inclination that his injury is a little bit worse off than anticipated. It looks more of a recurring injury where extensive rehab has to be done now - a mid-season pit-stop so to speak - or it's going to end up being really bad.
It will work in our favour anyway because this Halland, Alvarez midfield scenario isn't working. Let's get just one in the team and get Phil in the number 10.
