Kevin De Bruyne for Man City
De Bruyne is considered as one of the best midfielders of the current generation, and his absence for some time will be some sort of loss to City. The city is overall a good team and might manage against Everton, but locking horns against a Champion team like Paris Saint Germain, with Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe in the team. It will be much tough to fight against the Ligue 1 giants, and it is to be seen how Man City performs without Kevin De Bruyne.

De Bruyne appeared against Estonia on Saturday for his national team and against Wales on Tuesday. Pep Guardiola further stated that their forwards including Phil Foden and Jack Grealish are sustaining injuries on their duty with the England national team.
