Manchester City will face Arsenal this weekend with two key players, Kyle Walker and John Stones, facing injury concerns following their return from international duty. Walker picked up a hamstring issue while playing for England against Brazil, while Stones suffered an adductor strain in the match against Belgium. Both players did not participate in City training on Thursday, raising doubts about their availability for the crucial upcoming fixture.

The injuries to Walker and Stones come at a crucial time for City, who are currently one point behind their title rivals and need to secure a win against Arsenal to keep their hopes of defending their Premier League crown alive. Arsenal, on the other hand, are also under pressure as they have a tough run-in in the title race. Both teams will need to hit the ground running after the international break, and the fitness of key players will be crucial in determining the outcome of the match.

While Walker and Stones face a race against time to be fit for the Arsenal clash, there is some positive news for City as Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish are set to return from groin injuries. Matheus Nunes and Manu Akanji, who both picked up knocks during international duty, trained as normal and are expected to be available for selection. Guardiola will be hoping to have a full squad at his disposal as City look to secure a crucial victory against Arsenal this Sunday.
