Manchester City faced a setback when Kyle Walker was taken off due to a hamstring injury during a match against Brazil. With the uncertainty surrounding Walker’s availability for the upcoming game against Arsenal, there were concerns about the depth of the squad. Jeremy Doku, who spoke to Walker about his injury, revealed that the extent of the injury was still uncertain, leaving City with a dilemma ahead of their crucial match.
The possibility of both Walker and another player, Manuel Akanji, being unavailable for the Arsenal game added to the worries for Pep Guardiola and his team. If Walker is unable to play, it is likely that a replacement like Lewis will have to step in at right-back, further complicating City’s defensive lineup. Guardiola will be hoping for positive news regarding Walker’s injury and, if not, that Akanji can fill in effectively.
Despite Walker’s hopes of returning to action soon, the timeline for his recovery remains unclear. The situation is compounded by the absence of Akanji, potentially leaving City without two key defensive players for the game against Arsenal. Guardiola will be monitoring the situation closely and hoping for a speedy recovery for Walker, or for a suitable replacement to step up in his absence.
