Dalic satisfied with Man City defender Gvardiol at fullback

Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol may have to wait to play in his preferred position.

The central defender has come into the Citizens and predominantly played at left-back.

Manager Pep Guardiola has been hugely impressed with the Croatian youngster, who signed from RB Leipzig.

While Gvardiol will eventually move back to centre half, he will also play left-back for Croatia this month.

Their boss Zlatko Dalic stated to reporters: "Joško Gvardiol plays left-back at City, and in these matches, he'll be in that position.

“I didn't get what I wanted from Borna Barišić and Borna Sosa going forward."
