Latest Man City Injury News And Expected Return Dates: Updates On Phil Foden And 2 Others

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has confirmed that he picked up a “bad dead leg” during the 3-3 draw against Real Madrid.

The 23-year-old was taken off a few minutes before the end of normal time at the Bernabeu, with Julian Alvarez taking his place.

Manager Pep Guardiola says that Foden was unhappy at being substituted but it looked like the right call to protect his fitness.

It’s unlikely that the England international will be risked this weekend, and he will be given as much time as possible to be fit for the second leg versus Real next Wednesday.

Expected Return Date – Wednesday 17th April v Real Madrid

Expected Return Date – Saturday 20th April v Chelsea (FA Cup)

Guardiola said that he was hopeful that Kyle Walker would make a quicker-than-expected return from a hamstring problem that he picked up on international duty.

However, despite the right-back targeting a return to the matchday squad at the Bernabeu, he wasn’t able to make it back in time.

It is not clear how long Walker could be unavailable for. Depending on the seriousness of the hamstring injury, he could be out for anywhere between three to six weeks.

After having been sidelined since England’s game against Brazil on March 23rd, it suggests he could be closing in on his return to action. It remains to be seen, though, whether he’ll be ready for the second leg against Real.
