Manchester City defender Walker missed training due to back problems:I will never miss the Champions League final


Ahead of their Champions League title clash against Serie A Inter Milan at the weekend , Manchester City in the Premier League are training in groups to prepare for the game. However, Kyle Walker, one of Manchester City's 33-year-old defenders, has missed training due to a back injury in recent days, and his performance in the Champions League final is worrying.


Manchester City defeated Manchester United 2-1 last Saturday to win the FA Cup and also won the second Champions League this season, the Premier League champion and the FA Cup respectively.


However, after the game, Walker suffered from symptoms of discomfort in his back. Walker has been forced to miss Manchester City's public training before today's Champions League final due to struggling with back problems in recent days.


It is worth mentioning that the starting defender was a key figure in Manchester City's victory over La Liga giants Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final. Hughes Junior misfired, and finally Manchester City eliminated Real Madrid 4-0 on aggregate to advance to the final.


Despite missing training due to a back injury, Walker is confident he will be able to recover in time to play in this weekend's Champions League final. He expressed his hope to participate in the final to win Manchester City the first crowned European champion in team history, and he also emphasized that he would not miss the final because of anything.

Regarding Walker's back problem, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said that as a precautionary measure, Walker was excluded from today's training. Guardiola also revealed that Walker's back condition was not good yesterday, but today's recovery has made positive progress, but considering that he does not want to take any risks, he will further test and evaluate Walker's next situation.


Manchester City are currently favorites to win the Champions League. Inter Milan ranked third in Serie A this season, while Manchester City won the two domestic league titles of the Premier League and the FA Cup. If Manchester City wins the Champions League final at the weekend, Manchester City will become the second English team in history to win the Triple Crown of three major trophies after Manchester United completed the Treble in 1999.
