Kyle Walker is optimistic that his injury is not severe and is looking forward to returning quickly after having to leave England’s friendly with Brazil prematurely. Manchester City captain Walker was forced to exit the game in the first half due to what seemed to be a hamstring injury. Despite attempting to continue playing, he was ultimately substituted by Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa. Following the match, Gareth Southgate, the manager of England, mentioned that he was unsure about the severity of Walker’s injury but acknowledged that Walker is not usually prone to getting injured. Walker has since provided an update on his condition on Instagram, expressing his pride at captaining the team in Harry Kane’s absence for the second time. Additionally, there are concerns for Manchester City as they prepare for a crucial match against Arsenal with the uncertainty surrounding Walker’s injury. ‘The players who lost faith in Pep Guardiola after departing Manchester City’ – the players express their feelings. It was disappointing to sustain an injury in last night’s game, especially while serving as captain. He described it as a significant privilege and posted a series of images from the game where he wore the armband, including a shot of him limping off and grabbing his hamstring. Regarding his possible comeback, Walker stated, “I hope it’s not a major issue and I can return as soon as possible.” The message was shared on Instagram. Southgate mentioned that they are still unsure about Walker’s injury. He is experiencing a sensation, but since he is not frequently injured, he is unsure of what it is. We will need to evaluate it in the coming days. BBC 5Live Sport announced that Walker will be monitored for the next day and a half due to experiencing some “tightness.” Following England’s match against Belgium on Tuesday, Walker is expected to go back to City for training before their important Premier League match against Arsenal on Easter Sunday.
