‘Thank Goodness’ ‘Had A Feeling It Wasn’t Serious’ Fans Delighted As City Get Boost Ahead Of Arsenal Clash

Manchester City are optimistic about Kyle Walker’s fitness ahead of their match against Arsenal this weekend, as reported by Sky Sports. The 33-year-old defender was forced off the field after just 20 minutes during England’s game against Brazil, sparking concerns about his availability for upcoming City fixtures.

There is relief among fans as it appears that Walker’s injury was only a tight hamstring and not anything more serious. While supporters are happy that he may be able to face Arsenal, there are also those who feel that risking his fitness for one game may not be the best decision.

Some fans are pleased with the news, expressing their relief and optimism on social media. Others are more cautious, urging the team to prioritize Walker’s long-term health over short-term gains.

City will need to consider the potential risks of playing Walker with an existing injury, as seen in the past with Kevin De Bruyne. Guardiola and the medical team will need to assess whether it is worth taking the gamble with Walker’s fitness.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Walker’s availability, Guardiola has other options at right-back, including Akanji, Lewis, and Stones. While having Walker back would be ideal, City have proven to cope in his absence.

As they prepare for a crucial game against Arsenal, Guardiola will want his best team on the field. However, the decision regarding Walker’s fitness will ultimately come down to balancing the short-term benefits of having him available with the long-term risks of aggravating his injury further.
