Kyle Walker Injuries

'He was struggling a little bit with his stomach, so we decided that it was best to bring him off.' 'He obviously missed a bit of training in the week, and we just felt that we probably needed to change it up, so that was the main decision.'

'Kyle has the flu virus.'

'I don't think they will be ready [for midweek]. We have a few days training, but I don't think so.' 'I think he is not ready. Since being with the national team, he’s not been well.' 'Jack Grealish and Kyle Walker, no chance to play the next games.'

'With Kyle Walker, we are not sure. He was feeling some tightness, and it was something we couldn't take a chance on.' 'The doctors say no [for the UCL first-leg tie vs Real], but Kyle is Kyle; he has a special genetic. The doctor said to me it was quite serious, but I said Kyle is Kyle.' '[As for Kyle], I don’t know right now. Honestly, I would tell you. Josko was a doubt for Madrid, but our physios did an incredible job, and he could play.'

'[Kyle] had a disturbance in his back. Yesterday he was not good. Today he was a little bit better. We didn't want to take a risk, and we will see in the next days.'

'It will be for a while, yeah. I don't know exactly, but weeks. [It's] something abdominal. Maybe the club will make a statement in the next days.' 'The surgery was successful, and a more detailed prognosis will be provided in due course.' '[Playing vs Iran] is down to the manager. I think the first game is a little too short, but after that, I will be good and ready to go.'

'He had some problem in the first half. He continued, but in the end, he could not continue. We will see; I didn't speak with the doctors.' 'John is not much, Kyle not much too, but I don't know if he's ready for Saturday or Dortmund or Wolves after the international break.' 'Kyle is getting better, but I am not sure if he is ready for tomorrow.'

"It's alright. I wouldn't say it's perfect, obviously it's had two very bad injuries in two games but I'm hoping. I've still got hope until the end of the season."

"He trained and he will travel. Tomorrow we will decide, he is three weeks without training but happy he is back."

"Right now, I don't know. We have training in a few hours and we will know it. Right now, I don't know."

"Kyle Walker could not play against Brighton because he has a twist in his ankle after playing with his children. It happens."

"Kyle had a big impact kick in his hips, but just a kick, so is not available tomorrow but we wish he is available for the next game. "

"Kyle had an infection in his stomach. He didn’t train and lost weight. At half-time he said he didn’t feel good, that’s why we made a substitution."

"I don’t know [when he will be fit]. Hopefully he can come back on Tuesday. He came back from the national team with a [groin] problem."

"He had a problem with his calf and back. That's why he was substituted. I don’t think he’s injured."
