Massive if true: City's Walker could be out for the vital Arsenal and Real Madrid ties

He was forced off in the 20th minute of England's international friendly against Brazil on Saturday night with a suspected hamstring injury

The latest international break is taking its 'prisoners'. Manchester City's Kyle Walker, one of the key players in Pep Guardiola's side, had to leave the pitch against Brazil on Saturday night. England boss Gareth Southgate admitted they're still unsure about the extent of his injury.

"We don't know yet [on Kyle Walker's injury]," he said. "He is feeling something, but he is not a player who 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."

Walker's injury comes ahead of a crucial title clash with Arsenal next weekend and Real Madrid in the Champions League a few days later.

His absence could harm Guardiola, especially against Real Madrid, as Los Blancos would have a very convenient option to use City's weakness by exploiting Vinicius Jr's qualities on that wing.
