Pep Guardiola has yet to confirm whether Kyle Walker will feature in Manchester City’s lineup against Real Madrid on Wednesday night.

However, the 53-year-old disclosed that the team’s captain will be included in the squad for the Champions League quarter-final second leg.

Walker has been determined to make himself available in some capacity in the clash against Real Madrid.

The England right-back played a key role in neutralizing Vinicius Junior during last season’s encounters, notably in the 4-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium.

However, he has been sidelined since sustaining a muscle injury while on international duty in March.

Despite being named on the bench for the 5-1 triumph against Luton Town on Saturday, the 33-year-old did not feature in the match.

Pep Guardiola mentioned that Walker was still experiencing some discomfort, but he has been participating in training sessions recently and is expected to do so again on the eve of the return leg against Real.

“Kyle trains good, he feels something but he feels good in his face and his mood.

Everyone knows what Kyle has but he was not in the Bernabeu and all the guys were exceptional because in the Bernabeu we had a big problem because Nathan wasn’t there, Josko was last minute, Kyle wasn’t there so we had big problem.

“Today we are in a better position to switch some players and make some adjustments in case we need it.

It’s important that Kyle and Nathan feel good.

After, we will decide.”

Pep Guardiola claims that his team will “go for it” against Real Madrid, aiming to secure a spot in the semi-finals for a fourth consecutive season.

“With our people, we feel safe, we feel protected, we feel supported,” he said.

“We know we can handle momentum.

If you don’t, you will not beat teams like Real Madrid.

“Real Madrid know us, we know them.

But we won’t know until the 10th minute [of this game] the qualities of those playing.

“Some things we need to do better that we weren’t good at in the first game.

“We have to give them credit – Real Madrid are not just any opponent.

“We have to impose our way of playing as much as possible, but it is not possible to do that over 90 minutes.”
