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.
Of course Walker's injury is a heavy blow for Manc City. because for Man City he is a mainstay defender and also Walker is one of the pillars of Man City's defense and last season he played a big role in bringing the team to the treble. Of course his absence will be a big problem for Man City, which has the ambition to defend the EPL and UCL titles.
Not only was Vinicius smiling broadly when he saw Walker's injury, Arsenal were also smiling broadly because Walker was in danger of being absent when Man City faced Arsenal. We all know that the match against Arsenal is the most crucial match to win the EPL trophy this season because the distance between Man City and Arsenal is only one point.
Ahead of the international break, Pep Guardiola felt this worry and finally this worry became a reality with the injury to an important Man City player. In fact, before releasing his players to strengthen their respective national teams, Pep Guardiola warned and hoped that the players would be careful and maintain their fitness during international matches because he knew that Man City would enter crucial weeks. But now that this has become a reality, of course this has made Pep Guardiola look for a replacement for Walker.
