Manchester City have been handed a massive boost ahead of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid. Defender Kyle Walker has been declared fit to face Los Blancos on April 17.
Spanish outlet Diario AS reports that Walker could return to action having missed four games for Manchester City.
Walker last featured for Pep Guardiola’s side in their 2-0 win over Newcastle United in the FA Cup quarter-finals on March 16. He then represented England against Brazil in a friendly on March 24 and came off with a hamstring injury after just 20 minutes of action. His injury came at a very crucial point in City’s season.
Kyle Walker missed Arsenal’s trip to the Etihad which ended goalless. That was followed by wins against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace. He was unable to make it back in time for the first leg against Real Madrid, which ended 3-3. Walker will likely miss the game against Luton Town on the weekend but will be in contention to make the matchday squad next weekWalker is someone who keeps himself remarkably fit and has now faced his first injury setback of the season. He has made 38 appearances for Manchester City across competitions and has chipped in with three assists.
