VERY SAD NEWS has been announced for Manchester City as Key Player have sustained their first major injury blow of the international break

Pep Guardiola and his coaching team are concerned about the fitness and severity of Kyle Walker’s injury sustained while playing for England against Brazil on Saturday.

Manchester City will resume their Premier League campaign after the current international break with a highly anticipated match against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. They will be relying on the safe return of their 16 players who were called up for national team action.

Nevertheless, amidst the ongoing matches taking place worldwide, the Premier League titleholders have encountered their initial significant setback when their team captain, Kyle Walker, was compelled to leave the pitch at Wembley Stadium.

Due to Harry Kane’s injury, it was decided before the start of the match that Walker would be the captain of the England team. However, his captaincy was ended within the first 20 minutes.

Manchester City will anxiously observe the ongoing international matches, as they face a crucial series of matches in April. Unfortunately, their defensive unit suffered another setback during England’s friendly on Saturday night.

While successfully blocking a potential first goal for the South American team by using his impressive speed, Kyle Walker seemed to experience a hamstring injury in his left leg. Despite trying to keep playing, he was ultimately forced to leave the pitch shortly after.

The severity of Kyle Walker’s issue and its potential impact on his participation in Manchester City’s match versus Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, March 31st, is yet to be determined.

Pep Guardiola is not expected to speak to the media until his pre-Arsenal press conference next Friday. However, Gareth Southgate, the England manager, and the Football Association are likely to give an update on Walker’s injury issue in the near future.

The encounter with Mikel Arteta’s team marks the beginning of a series of crucial matches for the current Treble champions in the month of April. These include an FA Cup semi-final clash with Chelsea and a UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid.

Pep Guardiola and his squad face significant challenges in the English Premier League, with demanding away matches against Crystal Palace, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Nottingham Forest.
