Manchester City’s Kyle Walker received advice from medical staff regarding his hamstring injury in an attempt to speed up his recovery. The right-back’s absence from both international duty with England and Manchester City’s recent matches raised concerns over his availability for important upcoming fixtures.

Walker’s determination to return to fitness led him to believe he could train days after his injury, even though medical professionals advised against it. His absence from Manchester City’s matches is seen as a cautious approach towards ensuring he is fully recovered before returning to play.

With Walker’s absence, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola must explore other options for the right-back position, potentially turning to players like Rico Lewis or John Stones.
