Gvardiol enjoyed a solid 58 minutes on his surprise return to the starting XI and almost grabbed a first-half goal, but his header was spectacularly saved by Dean Henderson. “To be fair I was surprised as well! I didn’t expect my name in the starting XI,” began Gvardiol in an interview after the game.
“I found out two or three hours before kick-off. You have to be ready. “I’m happy to be back and happy to be in the starting XI.
We all know we have three games left. Happy to be back and get some minutes. I would say it’s normal.
