Sergio Gomez names two teammates who are helping him settle at Man City

Sergio Gomez has revealed that Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo are helping him settle at Manchester City and learn an unfamiliar role for a full-back.

City moved to sign Gomez in the summer from Anderlecht and he remained at the Etihad as part of the first-team squad despite initial plans to immediately send him out on loan. The Blues needed cover for left-back after selling Aleks Zinchenko but failing in their attempts to bring Marc Cucurella in as a replacement.

It's of little surprise that Gomez has looked out of place in a City shirt at times, like when he was dismissed early on against FC Copenhagen for a needless foul, as a result. Though the Spaniard is accustomed to charging up and down the flanks as a full-back, he isn't quite as comfortable yet in fulfilling Pep Guardiola's demand for full-backs to tuck inside as an extra midfielder.
