On Sunday night, there was negative news regarding Kyle Walker’s injury, causing him to return to Manchester City for treatment on his hamstring issue. As a result, Walker will not be able to participate in the friendly match between England and Belgium after having to exit the game against Brazil due to his injury. He described the injury as ‘frustrating’ and is hopeful that the diagnosis is not severe. He will be staying home to watch Tuesday’s game as his teammate Rico Lewis has been selected to replace him. The City captain will be receiving treatment to assess his fitness for the upcoming game against Arsenal on Sunday, which is important for their title chances. He is now with Ederson, Kevin De Bruyne, and Jack Grealish in the medical center. Man City also has a plan in place for a replacement for Kyle Walker against Arsenal. READ ALSO: The city is facing a ridiculous 68-hour run of matches, and we are comparing their schedule to that of Arsenal and Liverpool. Ederson and De Bruyne have pulled out of their international commitments due to minor injuries, and there is optimism that they will recover in time to play against Arsenal. However, there is no certainty. Ederson is nursing an injury from the game against Liverpool, De Bruyne has a slight groin problem, and Grealish is undergoing specialized training after being on the bench in the match against Newcastle. Despite returning to training with Manchester City, he was not selected for the England squad and will aim to recover in time for the upcoming match against Arsenal. It is possible that four key players may be unavailable for the match on Sunday, or may not be fully match fit at the beginning. If necessary, Stefan Ortega can step in as a direct replacement in goal, and Manchester City would have no issues with him taking on that role. Additionally, if Kyle Walker is not available, the alternative plan is also easily executable.
