VERY SAD NEWS has been announced for Manchester City as Key Player have sustained their first major injury blow of the international break
Pep Guardiola and his coaching team are worried about Kyle Walker’s injury severity and level of fitness after he played for England against Brazil on Saturday.
With a massive Premier League matchup against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium to come after the current international break, Manchester City will be hoping that all 16 of the players who were called up for duty can return without incident.
However, since the first round of games is still being played all over the world, the Premier League winners have already encountered their first significant issue, as club captain Kyle Walker was forced to leave the field at Wembley Stadium.
Walker was supposed to be the England captain going into the game because Harry Kane was missing due to injury, but those duties were taken away from him in the first twenty minutes of play.
A crucial stretch of games in April will undoubtedly have Manchester City watching the ongoing international matches with bated breath, as their defence took yet another hit during Saturday night’s friendly between England and Wales.
While using his quick speed to stop the South American team from scoring their first goal, Kyle Walker seemed to have a hamstring issue in his left leg. He tried to play on, but had to leave the pitch a short while later.
The extent of Kyle Walker’s injury is still unknown, as is the likelihood that he won’t be able to play in Sunday’s premier league match between Manchester City and Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.
Walker’s injury issue is expected to be updated in due course by the Football Association and England manager Gareth Southgate. Pep Guardiola is not expected to speak to the media until his pre-Arsenal press conference on Friday.
The matchup with Mikel Arteta’s team is the first of many crucial games that the defending Triple Crown winners will play in April. These games include a quarterfinal matchup in the UEFA Champions League against Real Madrid and an FA Cup semifinal matchup with Chelsea.
Pep Guardiola and his team will face a series of really significant matches in the English premier league, including difficult away journeys to Crystal Palace, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Nottingham Forest.
