Manchester City have confirmed that Kyle Walker has undergone surgery on a groin injury he suffered in the Manchester derby on Sunday.
The 32-year-old was taken off during the first-half of City's 6-3 win over Manchester United with Walker going under the knife on Tuesday to fix the groin issue he sustained. It could prove to be a huge blow for City and England with Walker reportedly now facing a race to be fit for the World Cup in November.
Walker missed City's 5-0 rout against Copenhagen on Wednesday evening with Sergio Gomez coming into the side at left-back as Joao Cancelo moved over to the opposite flank. City confirmed the injury in a club statement and revealed the "surgery was successful and a more detailed prognosis will be provided in due course".
