Makes three tackles Gvardiol recorded three tackles (two won) in Saturday's 4-1 win against Ipswich Town.

Impact Gvardiol didn't see much action in a game City majorly dominated, with his only significant stats being three tackles. However, he has started in both matches to open the campaign, playing the full 90 in each. He should continue in that role, especially after coming into great form to end last season.

Impact Gvardiol had a slightly underwhelming start to his season as he tried to get integrated with his new club but quickly changed that as the season progressed, as he became one of the club's best defenders while also adding some production in the attack, scoring all four of his goals in the final 10 appearances of the campaign. Only being his first season with the club, he still has a lot to improve on and should come in as a regular starter again next season, likely being an even bigger threat to opposing teams. He still has some work to do defending in the faster-paced Premier League, but he can easily counter that with his presence in the attacking end of the field, registering 18 chances created, 33 crosses and 32 shots.

Man United stuns Man City in FA Cup final, Erik ten Hag defiant on future

Great first year for City Gvardiol logged five tackles (one won), one shot (zero on goal) and one interception during Manchester City's 3-1 win Sunday against West Ham.

Impact Even though Gvardiol primarily played left-back instead of center-back so Manchester City's team could use Ruben Dias and Manuel Akanji as its primary central defenders, the 22-year-old made his position change work. He finished his first Premier League season with four goals, 32 tackles won, 27 interceptions, 26 clearances and 18 chances created across 28 appearances (26 starts). After helping Manchester City win silverware, Gvardiol will aim at doing the same for Croatia, whose 2022 World Cup campaign saw him break out and earn his eventual move to Man City.

Impact Gvardiol left Saturday's win over Crystal Palace at halftime due to what had been described as a "little problem" by manager Pep Guardiola, but the defender has been included in the squad, so there's a strong chance he might remain in the starting lineup, especially considering Nathan Ake (calf) and Kyle Walker (hamstring) won't be available.

Impact Gvardiol was forced to surrender his spot at halftime, appearing to have picked up an injury after not returning to the bench and staying back in the locker room for the rest of the match. However, it is now clear that he does have a minor issue, most likely being subbed off due to caution. He will now undergo scans and hope to get back on the training pitch this week, looking to still be an option for their next match against Real Madrid on Tuesday, although a return against Luton Town on Saturday seems to be more probable if he does need time to rest.

Impact Gvardiol was available off the bench for Sunday's Manchester Derby, but his full return to the team came in the mid-week Champions League clash.

Impact Gvardiol has missed the club's past five matches due to his ankle issues but seems to be on the brink of a return following Monday's report on the player. He has yet to get back into team training, but with a couple more days to go until their next match, he could be upgraded to that point, working towards his availability for Sunday. If he is healthy for the contest, there is a decent chance he could start, as he has made the starting XI in 16 of the club's 26 league matches this season, but if he still needs another game before returning, expect Nathan Ake or Manuel Akanji to get the start once again against United.

Impact Gvardiol will miss multiple weeks, though with John Stones and Manuel Akanji both fit there's plenty of options in defense to back up Gvardiol. The defender will be targeting a return potentially for a March 3 clash with Manchester United.
