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 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 didn't get much done going forward, as has often been the case while he's slotted in at left-back. The defender is more of a center-back than a traditional wing-back and is best considered a defensive options in all competitions with limited offensive upside.
