Due to surgery for a groyne issue, Kyle Walker of Manchester City is a serious doubt for the World Cup.
According to the Mail, who also claimed that the 32-year-old had surgery, his chances of playing for England in Qatar are now in jeopardy.
Following a knock that forced the right-back to leave the 6-3 victory over Manchester United, it appears that the problem required surgery.
Speaking after Man City beat Copenhagen in the Champions League on Wednesday night, boss Pep Guardiola said: “It’s something abdominal and he will be a while out,”
“I don’t know [how long]. I cannot say anything else. We have to speak to the doctors.
“I know how important the World Cup is for the players but honestly I don’t know right now.”
Teammate Kalvin Phillips is also considered a doubt for the tournament after undergoing surgery on a shoulder issue in September.
