What happened to Bernardo?
Bernardo’s substitution at the stroke of half-time was a surprise, as there had been no indication of a knock before Jeremy Doku came in to replace him, per Manchester Evening News.

There was some confusion as to why he was substituted as he took a seat on Manchester City’s bench rather than heading straight to the locker room.
Guardiola offered clarity on the midfielder’s situation in a press conference after the match, saying that the 29-year-old will miss at least City’s next Premier League game against Nottingham Forest.
His availability for the crunch clash against Arsenal in the Premier League on October 8 is also in question, with Guardiola saying that Bernardo’s injury will keep him out for the next few weeks.
The City manager talked about his club’s predicament, saying:
“We are in trouble, but I am not going to say, ‘Oh, we have a lot of injuries’. It is what it is.”
