Josko Gvardiol was injured for Manchester City's Premier League opener against Wolves. Pep Guardiola's Man City surged to a 4-0 victory at Mollenieux, with goals from new signings Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki adding to a clinical brace from striker Erling Haaland. Gvardiol, whose injury has been described as a knock', also missed City's pre-season victory over Italian side Palermo in early August.
Jack Grealish honed his skills at Bodymoor Heath, helping Aston Villa achieve promotion and establish themselves as a Premier League side while becoming immensely popular among fans.
