New obstacles lie ahead for Manchester City this season, with injuries to defenders Aymeric Laporte and John Stones set to test the depth of Pep Guardiola's squad.
Moments like this provide a spotlight on recent transfer activity: Has enough been done, or do they need more?
The departure of Vincent Kompany and now a defensive partnership between Nicolas Otamendi and Fernandinho will lead to plenty of column inches in the media being filled on whether City need to sign a new defender in January.
However, there is always the chance Guardiola will look to spice up another area of his side if he spots any signs of weakness.
