Kyle Walker Falls Victim to the "FIFA Virus" and Sets Off Alarms at Manchester City
Right-back Kyle Walker suffered an injury during the friendly match between England and Brazil, apparently with a muscular issue, just 16 days before the Champions League quarter-final tie between Real Madrid and Manchester City.
The City defender felt something in the back of his left thigh after a sprint with Vinícius Júnior, prompting him to receive medical attention. After testing himself and continuing for a few minutes on the field, the Englishman decided to stop.
He left the field chatting with his City teammate Phil Foden but always covering his mouth, presumably to avoid revealing any details.
City and Real Madrid are set to face each other on April 9 at the Santiago Bernabéu and eight days later in the return leg at the Etihad Stadium.
