Manchester City defender Kyle Walker is confident he will be fit for Saturday's UEFA Champions League final.
The Three Lions international was withdrawn late on during City's 2-1 win over Manchester United in the FA Cup final on Saturday, as Pep Guardiola's side made it a domestic double. He then did not feature in an open training session on Tuesday as City continued preparations for the weekend clash with Inter Milan in Istanbul.
“I’m fine, I’m just getting old,” he told Sky Sports News. “I’m completely fine, it’s just an extra day of recovery.
“I’ve played a lot of minutes over the last number of weeks so the manager said, ‘Just stay inside and come Saturday you will be raring to go’.

“I’m fine, the minutes that I’ve played when everyone else was injured, I was there digging my heels in and getting through it. I won’t be missing the Champions League final for anything.”
Manager Pep Guardiola also said Walker’s absence from training was only precautionary.
“He has had a disturbance in his back,” said Guardiola. “Yesterday he was not good, today he was a little bit better but we didn’t want to take any risks. We will see what happens in the next days.”
