Pep Guardiola confirms Man City injury boost after Kevin de Bruyne 'narrative' claim

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has returned to training after recovering from an ankle injury.

The right-back has been out since he sustained the injury against Atletico Madrid on April 13 and has missed five games across all competitions.

Before Saturday’s 4-0 victory over Leeds United, City boss Pep Guardiola refused to rule out Walker missing the rest of the season. The news will be a huge lift to City who have struggled with injuries and suspensions in defence over recent weeks and face Real Madrid in their Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday evening.
