However, according to the Daily Mail, there is now hope that Walker could be selected in the final 26-man England squad for the World Cup.

It is claimed that reports regarding the Manchester City defender’s recovery progress is understood to have encouraged the England camp.

Walker is almost two weeks into his recovery from groin surgery and is in a race against time to be fit for the tournament that starts in little over four weeks time,
