One Manchester City player, Josko Gvardiol, has been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award for April, despite stars like Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne being overlooked. The team had a strong month domestically, winning all five games and scoring 19 goals while conceding just four. Gvardiol, a defender, contributed two goals and an assist in his five appearances and has been praised for his performances.

Gvardiol’s impressive form in April has earned him a spot as a nominee for City’s own Player of the Month award as well. However, he faces stiff competition from former City youngster Cole Palmer, who scored seven goals and made one assist in just four appearances for Chelsea during the month. Palmer’s performances against top teams like Manchester United and Everton may give him an edge over Gvardiol and the other nominees like Bruno Fernandes, Kai Havertz, Jean-Philippe Mateta, and Jordan Pickford.

Despite strong performances from Foden and De Bruyne, it was Gvardiol who stood out in April with his consistent displays and crucial contributions to City’s victories. The defender’s nomination for the Premier League Player of the Month award reflects his improvement and impact on the team, as he continues to showcase his talent and skill on the field. It remains to be seen whether Gvardiol can beat out his competition, including Palmer, to claim the prestigious award for April.
