Manchester: So, Kyle Walker’s not playing again for Manchester City. He’s looking to move on, and it seems like he’s serious about it. Last week, he went to the sporting director, Txiki Begiristain, and asked to explore options abroad for the last year of his career. Because of that, he was left out of the squad for the FA Cup match against Salford City.

Pep Guardiola mentioned that the decision to leave Walker out was his, but he didn’t say it was the end of Walker’s time at City. When asked if Walker could play again, Guardiola said it all depends on the transfer market. He hinted that if Walker trained well on Monday, there might still be a chance for him to be included.

But guess what? Walker didn’t make the 21-man squad for the big game against Brentford. Instead, Matheus Nunes is stepping in at right-back. Guardiola seems pretty confident with his options if Walker decides to leave this month.

On top of that, City is bringing in two young centre-backs soon, which shows they’re planning for the future. They’re also aiming to win three Premier League games in a row for the first time since October, but they’ve got a tough match ahead against a Brentford team that’s been strong at home this season.
