Manchester city midfieder Kevin De Bruyne and defender Kyle Walker are major doubts for Saturday’s FA Cup clash with Liverpool on Saturday, coach Pep Guardiola has confirmed.
The duo were both substituted after suffering injuries in Wednesday’s fractious Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano in the Spanish capital.
It ended goalless but city progressed to the semi-final after going through on a 1-0 aggregate scoreline.
Recall that City had defeated Atletico in the first leg of the encounter at the Etihad stadium in England.
Both players were unable to participate as City held a training session at Millwall’s ground on Friday having travelled straight to London from Spain.
Guardiola confirmed playmaker De Bruyne had required stitches in a foot wound while Walker had suffered a twisted ankle.
Speaking at a press conference at the Championship club’s ground, Guardiola said: “They didn’t train today. We’ll see tomorrow but apparently it’d be so close after what happened on Wednesday.”
Manchester City will face Real Madrid in the semi-finals of this season’s UEFA champions League.
