Man City handed unexpected double injury boost ahead of final-day Liverpool showdown

Manchester City have been handed a huge boost ahead of Sunday's Premier League title decider with the return of defensive duo Kyle Walker and John Stones.

Walker, 31, has not played since coming off injured in City's dramatic 3-1 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid in the Bernabeu on May 4, which saw them knocked out. Stones, 27, has not featured since the 4-3 first-leg win over Los Blancos on April 26, when he was forced off after 36 minutes with a recurrence of an ongoing muscular issue.

But both have returned to training ahead of Sunday's final league game of the season, at home to Aston Villa, with City needing a win to confirm a fourth league title in five years. Pep Guardiola's side hold a one-point lead over Liverpool with one game left to play and the Spaniard's options have been strengthened with the return of Walker and Stones.
