Kevin De Bruyne & Kyle Walker ruled out of Liverpool FA Cup clash in massive injury blow

Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker have been ruled out of Manchester City’s FA Cup tie with Liverpool after suffering injuries in the 0-0 draw at Wanda Metropolitano.

Speaking after the Champions League game yesterday, Pep Guardiola said that his side are ‘in big trouble’ when he was asked about the injuries to KDB and Walker.

“We are in big trouble, so we can’t forget we played three days ago, travelled, come here, have a lot of injuries now.”

According to RMC Sport, after further examination, it would appear possible that the Belgian international could be out of action up until the Cityzens’ meeting with Real Madrid in their Champions League semi-final clash.

It would mean that the former Wolfsburg star would miss out on the Manchester-based outfit’s upcoming league meetings with Brighton and Watford.

For the side Kyle Walker as per the report, it will be necessary to carry out additional examinations to determine the duration of his unavailability. 

These injuries are yet to be confirmed by the club but with other news outlets reporting that the pair will be undergoing scans today.

That’s a ‘huge blow’ for Manchester City, especially considering how the pair played against Liverpool last weekend and indeed in the games against Atlético.

If these two are out for a while, then it could have a big bearing on just not the weekend clash, but also the Premier League and the Champions League.

We’ll be hoping for a quick recovery for the pair.
