Guardiola was keeping his cards close to his chest when asked about the availability of Kyle Walker as well.

The right-back has not been seen in action since he was substituted early on in England’s friendly against Brazil last month.

Walker is believed to have sustained a hamstring injury and Guardiola has said that the fullback was prepared to risk his fitness in order to play.


However, City’s medical staff are taking precautions and they don’t want the defender to pick up a more serious problem which would keep him sidelined for a longer period.

Expected Return Date – Wednesday 17th April v Real Madrid (Champions League)
