Kyle Walker injury latest as Man City face crucial 36 hours ahead of Arsenal title clash
England boss Gareth Southgate says the severity of Kyle Walker's injury is currently unknown after the Manchester City defender was forced off in Saturday night's loss to Brazil.
Walker started from the off for the Three Lions at Wembley Stadium. However, his 82nd cap for his national team ended after 20 minutes when he was replaced by Ezri Konsa.
The defender appeared to have suffered a hamstring injury and, upon being taken off, he headed straight down the tunnel and towards the dressing room.
England went on to lose the international friendly fixture as 17-year-old striker Endrick scored the winner in the 80th minute. After the game, Southgate was quizzed on the severity of Walker's injury.
"We don't know yet [on Kyle Walker's injury]," he said. "He is feeling something but he is not a player that is injured very often so he is not quite certain what it is so we will have to assess it over the next couple of days." BBC 5Live Sport report that Walker will be assessed over the next 36 hours after feeling some “tightness”.
The 33-year-old has featured 26 times in the Premier League this season, helping Manchester City mount yet another title bid. Pep Guardiola will be hoping Walker's problem isn't too bad ahead of next weekend's Premier League title clash with Arsenal.
