Tottenham Hotspur play host to Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Pep Guardiola the head coach

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola delivered worrying news ahead of his side’s Champions League clash with Tottenham on Tuesday night, suggesting that Kyle Walker has suffered a hamstring injury, as quoted by the Manchester Evening News.

Spurs will play host to the Cityzens in their magnificent new stadium in just two days time, and considering the fact that the north London outfit haven’t played a game this weekend, they might just hold the advantage against the Premier League champions.

Tottenham have been on a poor run of form domestically, taking just four points from their last six Premier League games, whilst Manchester City have been imperious, wining their last eight league games in a row.

Guardiola’s side will surely head into the game against Spurs as favourites, but the Spaniard shared a concerning injury update after his side’s FA Cup win over Brighton yesterday, as quoted by the Manchester Evening News:

“He had problems with his hamstring and could not run.”

Walker will surely miss Tuesday’s game against Tottenham, and whoever plays in the left-wing position for Mauricio Pochettino’s side will now really fancy their chances.
