Manchester City’s Defensive Woes Deepen Ahead of Arsenal Showdown

Manchester City faces a setback as key defenders Kyle Walker and John Stones will be sidelined for their upcoming clash against Arsenal.

Manager Pep Guardiola confirmed their absence during a pre-match press conference, revealing that both players sustained injuries while on international duty.

Walker suffered a hamstring problem during the match against Brazil, while Stones picked up an adductor issue against Belgium.

Guardiola admitted uncertainty about the timeline for their return, stating that Walker’s injury is more severe.

However, there is a silver lining for City, with Manuel Akanji declared fully fit after a knock and Ederson showing significant improvement, raising hopes for his availability against Arsenal.
