Manchester City's James McAtee and Juan Larios have both received nominations for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award for February.
The pair join the list of seven nominees which includes Fulham's Luke Harris and Sonny Hilton, Southampton's Luke Pearce, Crystal Palace's Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Manchester United's Shola Shoretire.
Larios is a Spanish left-back who moved to the City Football Academy from Barcelona's famous La Masia in the summer of 2020. Known for his attacking exploits, the 18-year-old has progressed through the ranks at City over the last couple of years - winning major silverware along the way.

In 2020/21, the Spaniard won the U18 title before moving up to join Brian Barry-Murphy's EDS side for the 2021/22 campaign. Now seen as a regular starter, Larios has made nine Premier League 2 appearances so far this season, notching one assist.
His nomination for the February award comes off the back of his impressive performances from left-back in City's last three fixtures, helping the Blues to three clean sheets. Their standout result of the month was a 5-0 thrashing of Derby County, a game where Larios secured his aforementioned assist.
The name James McAtee needs no introduction for City supporters. The 19-year-old recently penned a three-year contract extension with the club and is now a regular around Pep Guardiola's first-team squad.
He made his senior debut in a 6-1 win against Wycombe Wanderers in the Carabao Cup earlier this season. The youngster has since gone on to make his Premier League debut against Everton.
