OUT
January 5, 2026
Gvardiol will undergo surgery after it was confirmed that he suffered a tibial fracture during Sunday's match against Chelsea, the club announced Monday.
ANALYSIS
Gvardiol is likely to be ruled out for a long period, but his full recovery timeline remains to be determined. The defender's absence is a huge blow to the squad given that he has been a constant presence in the starting lineup, scoring two goals and three assists in 21 appearances and averaging 3.9 clearances per game. Both Nathan Ake and Abdukodir Khusanov are options to play in Gvardiol's place, with both of them featuring if Ruben Dias (undisclosed) is also sidelined.

OUT
December 22, 2025
FC Barcelona are interested in signing Gvardiol, according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo.
ANALYSIS
Gvardiol has been one of the most reliable defenders for Manchester City this season, whether playing as a center-back or left-back. It's not surprising to see Barcelona showing interest in the Croatia international, as he'd fulfill a glaring need in Los Blaugranas' defensive line. Manchester City aren't expected to entertain offers for their star defender, though.
