Kyle Walker injury reopens old wounds for Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola has sparked a fresh club-versus-country row after Kyle Walker returned from recent international duty injured.

The right-back missed Manchester City’s victory at Wolves on Sunday and will be sidelined for Wednesday’s Champions League game against Sparta Prague after sustaining a knee problem in England’s defeat of Finland last week.

It has brought back bad memories for Guardiola of the frustration he felt – with the national team and even the players themselves – after both Walker and John Stones were injured playing for England in March.

Indeed, in the latter’s case, Guardiola said he had never been so angry as he was after Stones limped out of England’s friendly against Belgium with an adductor problem.
