Pep may be forced to take unwanted gamble on Foden

Julian Alvarez wouldn't have been expected to play at Stamford Bridge as the Blues begin their latest title defence, given he spent all summer playing for Argentina at the Copa America and then the Olympics.

But his £64m move to Atletico Madrid means he is no longer an option for City, taking away Guardiola's mostused player from last season.

With Alvarez gone, a reshuffle is needed in attack. Kevin de Bruyne has the starting spot at number 10, while Phil Foden could be moved more permanently inside to cover both De Bruyne and Haaland like Alvarez did.

And then Oscar Bobb got injured.
