Last thing we need is another long layoff, but with respect to the derby, he probably wasn't going to back to his top level by then anyway. Bernardo at 100% instead of KDB at 80% isn't the end of the world. Hopefully it's a closer to one month as it won't be too many games with the international break to consider. Also, judging off his performance last night, I do think Foden is genuinely ready to be taking on a little bit more responsibility. Finally, we absolutely destroyed United in the first half at home last season without him (less said about the second half the better).
