Kyle Walker missed Manchester City training with a back problem on Tuesday afternoon ahead of the Champions League final. After claiming the FA Cup with victory over Manchester United on Saturday, City are on the cusp of clinching an historic treble, with Inter Milan standing in their way in Saturday's Champions League final in Istanbul.

Addressing Walker's absence from training, Pep Guardiola said: "He 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." After finding himself behind Manuel Akanji in the pecking order throughout March and April, Walker forced his way back into the side in the final few weeks of the season.
