Manchester City given significant Kyle Walker injury update before crucial Arsenal match

Manchester City have received positive news regarding club captain Kyle Walker and his fitness ahead of their Premier League showdown with Arsenal this Sunday.

The full-back had withdrawn from the England squad during the international break due to an injury sustained in a friendly against Brazil.

This setback came at a crucial time for Manchester City, with important fixtures against both Arsenal and Real Madrid on the horizon.

However, recent reports indicate that Walker’s hamstring injury is not as serious as initially feared, raising hopes of his availability for the upcoming match with Arsenal.

Despite initial concerns, Walker’s potential return could be a significant boost for Pep Guardiola’s side, especially given his experience in big games.

The clash with Arsenal could also have implications on the Premier League title race, with Manchester City trailing the Gunners by just one point with 10 games left in the season.

Arsenal have struggled at the Etihad Stadium in recent years, and Walker’s possible inclusion could help Manchester City maintain their strong record against the North London club.

While Walker’s availability is not yet confirmed, the prospect of his return may prompt Mikel Arteta to reconsider his tactics for the crucial encounter.
