The low blow that Guardiola's City receives during their vacation

Manchester City is gearing up to return to work under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, with the ambition of achieving a historic milestone, becoming the first team to defend a treble. After an outstanding 2022/23 season and notable consistency in recent years, the Citizens have the confidence to dominate in all competitions they participate in during the 2023/24 season.

There is even daring speculation that they could achieve the coveted English quadruple. However, to accomplish this, Guardiola and his team must strive for perfection in every aspect of the game and rely on some luck in crucial moments.

However, before the official season begins, they have received disheartening news. According to reports from the Daily Star, Kevin De Bruyne, one of the midfield stars, will miss the start of the Premier League.

The injury suffered by the Belgian international in the Champions League final will not have healed in time for his participation in the clash against Burnley, a team managed by former Manchester City player Vincent Kompany.

They want him for the Super Cup

Despite this setback, both the player and the club remain hopeful that De Bruyne will recover in time to play in the UEFA Super Cup match against Sevilla. Although his absence at the start of the season is a blow to Manchester City, they believe they can overcome this obstacle and continue their pursuit of success in all competitions.
