KYLE WALKER NEWS

Still out Wednesday Walker (undisclosed) will not be available against Brentford on Wednesday.

Impact Walker will be sidelined for his fourth consecutive contest due to his undisclosed injury. Once given the all-clear, the defender should jump back into the starting XI while Nathan Ake features at left-back in his stead versus Brentford.

Remains out Sunday Walker is still not fully fit and he's not in the squad Sunday against Leicester City.

Impact It remains unclear what is going on with Walker, but he's still out Boxing Day and hasn't played since Dec. 7. There's a chance he got into a disagreement with Pep Guardiola and that's resulted in some absences, but until that changes, Oleksandr Zinchenko will continue to start at left-back with Joao Cancelo on Walker's normal side.

MATCHDAY: Arsenal, Chelsea, City, Spurs play on Boxing Day

Absent from training Walker was absent from Friday's training session and he remains a doubt for Boxing Day against Leicester, reports Manchester Evening News.

Impact It's unclear what's going on with Walker, as Pep Guardiola hasn't given any real updates on the defender's status. He's missed each of the last two matches and appears set to miss more with Oleksandr Zinchenko the one to benefit at full-back.

Misses Sunday Walker missed Sunday's clash with Newcastle United with an undisclosed injury, according to Mancity.com.

Impact Walker sat out Sunday's match due to a lack of fitness though it's not clear if it was general fitness or a specific injury. With games coming so quickly one after the other in the busy winter period it's unsurprising for players to be rested. Walker will look to return Sunday, against Leicester.

Ready to play Sunday Walker (rest) is in contention against Newcastle United on Sunday after manager Pep Guardiola told reporters, "We will travel to Newcastle with everyone ready to play."

Impact Walker hasn't featured in two straight contests, including being left out of the squad entirely against Leeds on Saturday. Still, the left-back has featured 17 times for the club this year in both European and domestic competition, in which he tallied one goal on seven shots (two on target), 22 crosses (four accurate) and one assist, and should reclaim his spot in the starting XI sooner rather than later.

Out against Leeds Walker is not in the squad for Tuesday's match against Leeds because of a lack of fitness.

Impact Walker didn't play over the weekend, so being "short on fitness" is a bit surprising for the right-back who has played almost every match the last couple seasons. John Stones is getting the start in his place, though it's unclear what Man City are doing with their formation, as there isn't a set right-back in the squad.

Available for Saturday Walker (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's match against Watford, according to manager Pep Guardiola.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Walker, as he probably sat midweek due to the influx of matches. He had started each of the last eight contests and was likely given a rest on a short week. He should be back in his usual right-back role against Watford on Saturday.

Creates two chances Walker created two chances during Sunday's 3-0 win over Everton.

Impact Walker created two chances on his four crosses Sunday, though he once again failed to get on the score sheet. Walker has been a solid full-back option this season, but has produced next to no fantasy upside. That is unlikely to change Wednesday, against PSG.

Starting against Manchester United Walker (foot) has been selected in the XI to face Manchester United Saturday.

Impact It seems like there's a real chance Walker isn't ready for Saturday's match, which would force Man City to change their back line in a big matchup. Oleksandr Zinchenko is an option to move into the XI, but Joao Cancelo would probably be who takes up the spot at right-back.

Picks up foot injury Walker suffered a foot injury against Club Brugge on Wednesday and is in doubt for Saturday's Manchester Derby against United.

Impact Walker has made 11 appearances for City in domestic and European competition, including eight starts, in which he tallied a combined one goal on six shots (two on target), 16 crosses (two accurate) and nine clearance. The defender has never tallied more than one goal in a season, so he may have already secured his marker for the year.
