Man City dealt potential blow ahead of Arsenal clash as Kyle Walker limps out of England’s friendly against Brazil with supposed hamstring injury

City full-back Walker was substituted after just 20 minutes during England's friendly against Brazil on Saturday at Wembley. Walker initially tried to run off the injury but he failed to continue for long. He was eventually forced to leave the pitch with a suspected hamstring problem as Aston Villa man Ezri Konsa replaced him.

Walker's injury comes as a huge blow for the Cityzens who are all set to take on Arsenal in a crucial Premier League fixture on March 31 once the international break is over. It is a must-win clash for Pep Guardiola's side, who are trailing league leaders Arsenal by a point.

The 33-year-old defender continues to remain an important member of the City squad. He has appeared in 38 games across all competitions for his club this season and provided three assists.

All eyes will be on Gareth Southgate after the match for an update on the England defender's condition and the gravity of his injury. It remains to be seen if he will recovery before the Three Lions' second friendly clash against Belgium on March 26.
