Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed that Kyle Walker will not be part of his plan to enter the new season.
Kyle Walker, who borrowed AC Milan from Man United in the January 2025 transfer window, is expected to return to Atihad at the end of the season. But Guardiola confirmed in a press conference ahead of her final league game against Fulham this season.
He also talked about the delegation of Phil Foden on the England list before the Club World Cup.
He said
“I don’t know the national team, but for a long time he’s struggling with his ankles and what’s going on in the national team belongs to Thomas [Tuchel].
“We want to help him, and that’s the most important thing. If he needs a break, that will happen after Sunday. Step by step, he’s coming back, and that’s what we want. I just want to help him. I don’t care how he’s doing on the court, I want to feel good.
He also suffered the latest performance of Rodri’s injury for most of the season.
He said
He (Rodri) won’t start, he’s not ready to start. Rodri is still a long way to go. Next season, he will start to be the Rodri we’ve seen before we get hurt. That’s 70 games, he plays every three days, and it will take longer. The experience of surgery is to be careful, otherwise you will have muscle problems and this kind of thing. But this was the first step in his mind and knees. ”
Manchester City will hope they will end their campaign by qualifying for the UEFA Champions League and win the Club World Cup after the disappointing 2024/25 season.
