Joško Gvardiol at the 2026 World Cup

Joško Gvardiol is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back or left-back for Premier League club Manchester City and the Croatia national team. Joško Gvardiol lines up as Croatia's centre-back, and his job is anchoring the defence.

Croatia go into the tournament as genuine contenders (0.9% to lift the trophy per Polymarket's live market), and if they are to go deep they will need to manage lack of a top striker, which puts the spotlight squarely on Joško Gvardiol. His understanding with Luka Modrić could decide how Croatia's tournament unfolds.
