Pep Guardiola has called up a certain Manchester City youngster to first-team training ahead of his side’s clash against Wolves.

Ultimately, for a young player to be involved in training with City’s senior team must be an enthralling experience for several reasons.

Firstly, to have been given a chance to train in and amongst the first-team must be a matter of pride for a young prospect, as Manchester City are one of the biggest clubs in the entirety of football.

To add to that, learning first-hand from Pep Guardiola could be as eye-opening an experience as a youngster can muster in their career.

The Catalan boss has managed to reinvent players in their mid to late twenties, such as Fabian Delph and John Stones to name a few.

As a result, Guardiola has the ability to enlighten players about the game in a way few managers can.

20-year-old City youngster spotted in training ahead of Wolves clash

Any young player would perhaps be stunned by how the £378,846-a-week man views the game as well as how he sets his side up in training.

In addition, training with such a star-studded group of players must be an honour for any youngster.

But it is key for the player in question not to be starstruck at all times.

Instead, the opportunity in place is to show whether they are ready to play first-team football.

Even so, just by watching players like Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Ruben Dias to name a few, perhaps even other superstars in world football can learn so much.

From their training regimes to watching them play up close.

As Manchester City prepare to face Wolves on Saturday, Josh Adam was spotted on the club’s official website as a part of the winning team in training.

The 20-year-old was in the same team as the likes of Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, John Stones, Jeremy Doku, Nathan Ake, Mateo Kovacic, Josko Gvardiol, Rico Lewis, Nico O’Reilly and Scott Carson.

Josh Adam certainly must have learned a lot from especially the senior players in his team, as Manchester City seemed hard at work ahead of their contest against Wolves.

The City youngster, 20 is a midfielder by trade, who is known for his technical ability and creativity.

Adam is an advanced midfielder, who was signed by the club from Celtic in 2020.

Best time for Josh Adam to be a part of first-team training

It is one thing to train with the first-team during the first couple of months.

However, to watch, train and play alongside the Manchester City players when they are gearing up for a game that could decide their title fate against Wolves must have been an incredible experience for Josh Adam.

To witness the intensity with which Phil Foden and John Stones work behind the scenes ahead of a massive game must have been an eye-opening experience for the Scotsman.

Josh Adam would have taken away loads of lessons on how to train and play as his Manchester City side would be hoping to beat Wolves on the weekend.
