Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is facing a significant injury crisis ahead of Sunday’s title showdown against Arsenal. Several key players are doubtful for the crucial match, including defenders Kyle Walker, John Stones, and Manuel Akanji. Walker is undergoing a second scan for a hamstring injury suffered during England’s recent match against Brazil, making him a major doubt for the clash with Arsenal.

Stones and Akanji also returned from international duty with injury concerns, adding to Guardiola’s headache. City’s upcoming schedule is packed, with seven matches between now and April 20, including crucial Premier League fixtures, a Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid, and an FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.

The injury concerns extend beyond the defensive line, with midfielder Matheus Nunes also reporting a foot injury after being withdrawn from the Portuguese squad. Guardiola will be hoping for positive updates on Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, and Ederson, who are all working their way back to fitness.
