rommel suffering from stress and poor diet was sent home after the first battle of alemain

he requested that guderian be sent to africa as his deputy

guderian was still out of favor with okw at this time since his little tit for tat with kluge ( he would return to favor a few months later after stalingrad)

lets say he is given his chance earlier and is sent to command the dak and italians in rommel's stead instead of general stumme who would subsequently die in the second battle and force rommel back to africa early

would his presence change the outcome of the battle and would rommel ever return to africa?
