News about Kyle Walker

JACK GAUGHAN IN COPENHAGEN: City is in Copenhagen tomorrow, celebrating a win over Erling Haaland and knowing that qualifying will advance to the Champions League knockout stages with two games remaining in their group. Kyle Walker has undergone groin surgery, and John Stones is suffering from a hamstring injury, while Guardiola said he has a bigger problem with his defenders' constant aches and pains.

If Erling Haaland's game-changing abilities aren't maddening enough, it turns out he has gravitational pull as well. And if there are too many people drawn to him, it is obvious - one of the few in Manchester City blue will see you off instead. Southampton actually handled Haaland well on Saturday, with the two center backs and goalkeeper leaving with a positive attitude. However, this was the first evidence to show that giving the big guy all the attention can be counterproductive.

With the World Cup less than two months away, players will be keen to put in solid performances for their clubs to solidify their place in Gareth Southgate's plans. Fikayo Tomori continued to impress during AC Milan's 2-0 victory over Juventus, in which he scored, although defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kyle Walker had a rough time, with the Liverpool man being torn apart by Gabriel Martinelli and Walker's needing to have surgery on his groin.

It's too early to tell Kyle Walker that he has a chance to play in the World Cup, according to Pep Guardiola. After being forced off injured against Manchester United last Sunday, Walker, the Manchester City and England right-back, underwent groin surgery earlier this week. Walker is now facing time to recover physical fitness ahead of the tournament in Qatar, which will begin in six weeks.

The 40-year-old's slowed down as she strolled around a stunning Lincolnshire park with three-year-old Olivia and an enormous German Shepherd enjoying the sights, which included a large herd of fallow deer. Rebekah, a long brown coat, black trousers, and a white wooly hat, smiled and chuckled as she listened to the boy during the short outing.

England boss Gareth Southgate's defensive plans for the World Cup have been harmed, with Kyle Walker putting a big doubt after undergoing groin surgery and Harry Maguire facing another two weeks out. Walker underwent the surgery this week, according to MailOnline. It was also announced that Kalvin Phillips had an operation on a shoulder injury, raising the possibility of a headache for Qatar. Walker hopes to return from the hospital, but the minimum recovery time from the surgery is six weeks, so he is in a race against time. On November 21, England's tournament will begin against Iran.

A 5-0 Champions League victory is usually something to celebrate, but Pep Guardiola was not entirely satisfied after Manchester City's demolition of Copenhagen on Wednesday night. Kyle Walker's latest health problems in his post-match press conference made it clear right away, as he gave an update on his latest injury setback. Guardiola wrote: 'It's something abdominal, and he'll be a long time out.' We must consult the doctors.' We have to contact the doctors.' Like Kalvin, I'm hoping he'd return (back for the World Cup) as he does. Walker was forced out of the Manchester derby on Sunday, and his World Cup spot has been in doubt as he has undergone groin surgery. There is still hope that he will return in time to represent his country, but with the Three Lions flying out to Qatar in less than six weeks, Walker's odds of participating in the tournament hang in the balance. Sportmail explores the options available to Gareth Southgate should he be coerced into a re-jig of his defense on the eve of the World Cup.

After undergoing groin surgery this week, Kyle Walker is a major doubt for the World Cup. The Manchester City star missed Wednesday night's Champions League victory over Copenhagen and Pep Guardiola's remark: "I don't know [how long]." I can't say anything else. We have to consult with the doctors. I'm hoping he'll get back to Kalvin [Phillips].'

Kyle Walker's World Cup appearance could be in jeopardy as the England and Manchester City defender faces a spell on the sidelines due to an abdominal injury. Walker missed City's 5-0 Champions League victory over FC Copenhagen on Wednesday night, and Pep Guardiola said he was unable to give a time frame on how long he'll be out for, as the World Cup is only six weeks away. Guardiola said, 'It's something abdominal, and it will be a long time out.' (How long) I don't know). I can't say anything else.

Last night, Rebekah (left, with Jamie) shared a series of Instagram messages, one of which suggested that her rival should give up the money. However, Coleen (right)'s friend said the WAG is greatly harmed by the posts because, nine months before the High Court's libel showdown began, she suggested that some of the funds be donated to charity and pay their own expenses. Rebekah's claim was deemed 'outrageous' by a Coleen friend. Rebekah's 'tense times' ahead as she decides to pay off a £3.7 million court bill following her Wagatha Christie trial defeat, which she now owes to The Sun, potentially pushing the total amount over £4 million.

JOE BERNSTEIN: Trent Alexander-Arnold's new international assignment after England boss Gareth Southgate had him turned down by puts him in the same league as fellow Liverpool teammate and fellow academy graduate Ryan Kent. Whereas Alexander-Arnold has won every major trophy at Anfield, Kent, winger, made only one competitive appearance before moving on to Glasgow Rangers, who visited Merseyside in a 'Battle of Britain' Champions League match on Tuesday. Every European game for Alexander-Arnold has meaning, with the World Cup starting next month and the 23-year-old captain sweating on a squad spot ahead of Reece James, Kyle Walker, and Kieran Trippier.

After suffering a hamstring injury while on England service, John Stones will miss the Manchester derby on Sunday. During Monday's match with Germany in the 37th minute, the Manchester City defender limped off and was replaced by City teammate Kyle Walker.

MARTIN SAMUEL CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: The problem with the Premier League Drive To Survive is straightforward. It's a tiny world. It's only a small thought, small in its imagination, that there is no reason in people's minds that there is no such thing as gargantuan football could be. Why does football need Netflix anyway?Why does it need Sky, for that matter, or any streaming service to air its product?Why can't it go it alone? Show its own brand on its own network, with its own followers, and sell the product with the slogan "To Survive."

England lost 1-0 against Italy at the San Siro on Friday and appears to have been behind Kyle Walker, Reece James, and Kieran Trippier in the pecking order, with no more chances to impress manager Gareth Southgate before the World Cup. However, Brentford striker Ivan Toney has been called to play for the first time since his impressive club form. Fikayo Tomori, West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen, Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse, and Manchester City attacker Jack Grealish are among the other players suspended. After a humiliating loss in Milan that stretched their winless streak to five games, England was relegated from the Nations League.

England boss Gareth Southgate has warned Sven-Goran Eriksson that they should avoid selecting Manchester United duo Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw for the World Cup because they are not active players. Both defenders were dropped by United boss Erik ten Hag after a slow start to the Premier League season and have failed to recover their positions from Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia. Despite this, Maguire and Shaw were both included in Southgate's squad for this week's UEFA Nations League fixtures against Italy and Germany, with the England manager likely to stick with his trusted lieutenants for Qatar.

And as it is just seven games into the Premier League season, it has been off to a brisk start at both ends of the table as the season gets underway. Some of the top teams have been indifferent form, although a few so-called smaller teams have punched above their weight, leaving a few questions open. Any Premier League team has played well in the early stages, from free scoring Manchester City to crisis club Leicester, and have been rated how they have fared so far.

The Three Lions will complete their Nations League campaign in the coming days against Italy in Milan on Friday before hosting Germany at Wembley next Monday. This will be the last opportunity for a number of players to impress before Southgate's squad for Qatar, but Henderson, Rice, and Bellingham were unable to attend training as a precaution so that their workloads could be controlled. Henderson only joined the team on Tuesday morning after recovering from a hamstring injury earlier than expected.

Andros Townsend has revealed who he'd like for England's first game of the forthcoming World Cup, and he has confirmed that Gareth Southgate has some tough calls to make. With hosts Qatar taking on Ecuador, the tournament is expected to begin in less than two months. In other Group B fixtures, England will kick off their campaigns against Iran the following day before meeting the United States and Wales. When asked who he would pick for England's first match if he were in charge, Townsend was put on the spot by talkSPORT on Tuesday morning. Despite his latest injury setback, Townsend stuck by his Everton teammate Jordan Pickford to keep his position as England's No. 1 for the remainder.

SAMI MOKBEL: Injuries, a lack of playing time for main players, and no recognised understudy to Harry Kane are all potential factors that could jeopardize England's plans. Sportmail examines the headaches Southgate is facing ahead of his double header against Italy and Germany.

The Three Lions are now winless in four matches since 1928, losing by 4-0 to Hungary last time out. England plays their final two games against European Champions Italy at San Siro before welcoming Germany to Wembley for the first time since England's 2-1 victory in the second round of Euro 2020.

Sportsmail looks at the top 40 players vying for those remaining seats on the plane to Qatar ahead of their final round of fixtures.

Rio Ferdinand has claimed that Manchester City's unstoppable form has threatened to make the Premier League into a one-horse competition. Today, the city was still victorious, taking the lead against Wolves after Jack Grealish put the away side up for just 55 seconds to put them at ease regarding his latest appearances. Erling Haaland led City's lead after 16 minutes, becoming the first Premier League player to score in any of his first four appearances away from home.

Guardiola has defended Klopp's views on a north versus south exhibition, which were sharp and centred on the fact that there is no time in football's tumultuous calendar.

Gareth Southgate's England squad named his squad on Thursday afternoon, the last one before he decides which players to carry to the World Cup in Qatar. The upcoming UEFA Nations League double-header against Italy in Milan next Friday and Germany's Wembley the next Monday is significant for various reasons. Firstly, if England does not have some encouraging results in the group's final two games, they might face the shame of relegation to League B of the competition. However, this crew will provide us with a slew of clues as to who will be flying the plane to the Middle-East in late November.
