“It’s over for us, Arsenal will win the league”- HUGE BLOW as Pep Guardiola has stated that Manchester City amazing superstar has suffered a HUGE injury damage during training in International Duty
Despite the initial concern, Walker appears to be taking cautious measures.
Sky Sports say Manchester City’s No.2 is following an individual training programme as he recovers from Sunday’s 1-0 loss to Arsenal.
Walker doesn’t look or play like a 33-year-old.
Time, on the other hand, does not wait for anyone, and footballers in their thirties must take even better care of their bodies in order to compete at the greatest level for both club and nation.
If everything goes as planned on Tuesday, Walker should be able to participate in full training with the Three Lions from tomorrow forward.
Manchester City will be hoping Kyle Walker rests on Friday.
England plays Australia in a friendly on Friday before facing Italy in a EURO 2024 qualifier next Tuesday.
Given that there is nothing at stake in the match, Guardiola would undoubtedly hope that Gareth Southgate does not utilize Walker against the Australians.
The £53 million player has started all eight Premier League games for Manchester City this season, as well as two UEFA Champions League games.
Not only that, but the Sheffield-born defender fills a variety of duties under Guardiola, including inverted full-back, which requires him to cover a lot of territory.
Walker could undoubtedly benefit from a rest, and hopefully Southgate recognizes this and takes him out of the friendly against Australia.
Guardiola will be unhappy if Walker does play and injures himself.
