Pep Guardiola says Manchester City face an "emergency" in certain positions as he grapples with a punishing injury list ahead of Saturday's trip to Bournemouth.

Manchester City have been dealt a double injury blow as Kyle Walker and John Stones will miss Sunday's crucial clash in the Premier League title race against Arsenal.

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker said he was close to joining Bayern Munich in the last transfer window but has now decided to extend his stay with the treble winners.

Manchester City's Kyle Walker missed out on a starting place in the Champions League final against Inter Milan on Saturday with Nathan Ake slotting into manager Pep Guardiola's defence.

 Manchester City are determined to "right the wrongs" of their defeat to Chelsea in the 2021 Champions League final when they take on Inter Milan on Saturday in this year's showpiece, defender Kyle Walker said.

Manchester City's captain for the day, Kyle Walker, said his team mates will enjoy a couple of glasses of champagne to celebrate a third successive Premier League title but thoughts would very quickly turn to securing the treble.

Arsenal were worthy contenders in the title race but Manchester City upped their game when it mattered most to win their fifth Premier League trophy in six years, defender Kyle Walker said.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said defender Kyle Walker cannot play in an inverted full back role in his system, explaining his decision to leave the England international on the bench for their last two Premier League games.

Pep Guardiola is confident Manchester City stars Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips can recover from injury in time to play for England at the World Cup.
