International breaks always bring disaster and Manchester City definitely feels disadvantaged because one of their mainstay players has suffered an injury. I think maybe Kyle Walker is quite bad because previously he rarely got injured. Last night's friendly match against Brazil also saw England lose by a narrow score at Wembley. Again, this is a serious problem that Manchester City must experience and at a time when the title competition is getting fiercer, they have lost a fast wing defender and I doubt Pep Guardiola can find a replacement commensurate with his abilities.

Moreover, not only in the EPL title competition but the Champions League is also equally important where Manchester City will face Real Madrid and in the absence of Kyle Walker, Vinicius will be smiling broadly. We know that only Kyle Walker can stop Vinicius' agile movements and that is a loss that is very difficult to cover. Pep Guadiola is really tested by this news and he must be ready to rotate his players before the important matches in these two important active competitions start again.
