Gvardiol signals return to best at left-back for Man City
Josko Gvardiol's season last time out was disrupted by a serious injury but the defender now appears to be returning towards his best by helping Manchester City to an impressive start to the new campaign.
Josko Gvardiol is regaining his form at left-back for Manchester City, following a challenging season due to a serious injury. After a Community Shield loss to Arsenal in August, City have rallied, claiming six consecutive wins across all competitions. Gvardiol has been instrumental in their solid defense, conceding just twice in the opening four Premier League matches.
Partnered with Ruben Dias in central defense, Gvardiol has flourished at left-back, showcasing his attacking prowess as well. With the upcoming match against Sunderland, a potentially challenging game, Gvardiol aims to maintain City's winning streak and bolster his spirits ahead of international duty with Croatia. Despite competition for left-back spots, Gvardiol's dedication and tactical understanding have earned him praise, ensuring his valued position in the team.
