Didn't read any other posts so likely already been said but...
I'd say we came out no where near as badly as it could have been in terms of who is out.
Sorry for those who are, and not meant to diminish any harm it may cause to them, or the club's reasons for concern (i.e. going into the Everton match).
Yet, since Garcia is off to Barca whilst no Laporte nor Ake, nor Walker available is really is not ideal and could pose us problems, Stones and Dias are our best partnership and will get more time.
Not sure how long Ake or Laporte will be out, but one of the most "typical City" things is Ake is RARELY if ever injured with Bournemouth and has been out more regularly since with us. Could also consider COVID in that story tbf.
Will also be a chance for the Zinch to either prove his value once again or increase his transfer value as we know other clubs are interested.
Maybe we see a Harwood-Bells, or Mbete sighting who are certainly intriguing centre halves for the future.
