Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that both Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake are fully fit and available for selection for the upcoming matches against Real Madrid and Chelsea. Both players participated in first-team training and are in contention to feature in the important fixtures. Fans expressed their excitement and optimism about having Walker and Ake back in the squad, with many looking forward to the impact they can make on the team.
Ake had been sidelined with a calf injury but returned to the bench for the recent match against Luton. With the return of Ake and Walker, City now have a fully fit squad with the only remaining concern being fitness issues for John Stones. Guardiola will have to make decisions on whether to start Walker against Real Madrid, considering he hasn’t played for a month due to a hamstring injury. It is likely that Walker and potentially Ake will make appearances as substitutes before returning to the starting lineup for the FA Cup semi-final clash at Wembley.
Guardiola will have to carefully manage the return of Walker and Ake to ensure they are not at risk of further injury. The availability of the two defenders will provide options and flexibility for Guardiola as City look to navigate key fixtures in their season. The return of these key players will boost City’s squad strength as they aim to achieve success in multiple competitions.
