Manchester City’s John Stones and Kyle Walker will miss The race against Arsenal in the Premier League. Walker was replaced due to a hamstring problem while Stones limped off due to an adductor issue.

Defending champions Manchester City is now the third in the Premier League. They are just one point behind leaders Arsenal. However, Arsenal is ahead of Liverpool only on goal difference. In this circumstance, the absence of two defensive duos becomes a matter of worry. Because the Champions League quarter-final is going to be held in April.

In the pre-match press conference, Guardiola said, “Kyle’s (injury is) more tough than John’s but they will be out – I don’t know for how many games.” However, Ederson, Manuel Akanji, Jack Grealish, and Kevin De Bruyne will return from injury which is good news for Guardiola.

Guardiola added, “Kevin is so important. It has been a tough season for him with injuries. He has been out for a long time but he trained well yesterday. We will see what he does in the next few days.”

Guardiola also mentioned, “This season has been really good. To be in contention for the three important titles now, we’ve done incredible work. Now it’s the last 10 games of the Premier League, we start an important time. We play the leaders of the Premier League and I’m sure the people (City’s fans) will give us what we need to perform at our best.”

According to Pep Guardiola, “Manu had a problem in the back. It was blocked and I don’t know what happened but he was out.

“And John felt [his injury] again. I feel so sorry for him because he’s so incredibly professional and his commitment again. It is a big loss for us. John is so important for what he does but he will recover, and the season is long and he will be back stronger.”

Then he continued, “And John felt [his injury] again. I feel so sorry for him because he’s so incredibly professional and his commitment again. It is a big loss for us. John is so important for what he does but he will recover and the season is long and he will be back stronger.”
