  1. Stayed on the bench while Kevin De Bruyne took the slot

    Minor
    Chosen instead

    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  2. Looks overawed by the elite-club standards

    Moderate
    Cause
    The settling-in period at a new club is the bigger picture. He has joined a club operating at the top of the game.
    Outlook
    Settling-in period is still under way.

  3. Unsettled by the squad wage hierarchy

    Moderate

    Contract request risk increased.

  4. Personality clash with Alisson Santos

    Minor

  5. Personality clash with Giovane

    Minor

  6. Ivan Toney, a compatriot, joined the squad

    Serious
    Cause
    Mutual professional respect underpins this. The gap in reputation between them is being felt in the dressing room.
    Outlook
    Expectations may build after a stand-out moment.

  14. A senior teammate has taken him under his wing

    Moderate
    Cause
    A dressing-room lift, not a single incident, sits behind this. He is still inside the early-weeks window of a transfer.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  15. Sudden media glare after the high-profile move

    Moderate
    Cause
