“He’s the only Arsenal player that i fear, i just hope Arteta will bench him against us”- Man City star Kyle Walker confessed that he’s scared of 24-year-old Arsenal star. Manchester City is in trouble?

Ahead of an important match, Manchester City’s Kyle Walker has expressed his admiration for an Arsenal player. With Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta focusing on his players’ fitness during the international break, upcoming matches against Manchester City and Bayern Munich underscore the critical juncture of the season. Arsenal cannot afford to lose key players to injuries at this stage.

Although there were concerns about Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Magalhaes following their withdrawal from international duty, it seems they are not major doubts for the Manchester City clash. Walker’s recent remarks about Saka on Rio Ferdinand’s FIVE podcast stand out, especially with the impending matchup.

Having shared the field with Saka for England, Walker lauded the Arsenal winger for his impressive achievements at a young age. While recognizing Phil Foden as the best young player he’s played with, Walker praised Saka for his contributions to the England team and his remarkable statistics.

Walker’s acknowledgment of Saka’s talent suggests his awareness of the threat posed by the Arsenal winger, even if he may be relieved not to face him directly on the pitch. Instead, Gabriel Martinelli or Leandro Trossard might challenge Walker as they seek to bolster Arsenal’s title aspirations with a significant victory.

Fans eagerly await the return of internationals, hoping for the players’ fitness and preparedness for the crucial fixture. Amidst the anticipation, there’s a palpable sense of anxiety, with a former Arsenal player admitting to struggling to watch the club’s matches anymore. This sentiment reflects the emotional rollercoaster associated with supporting the team.
