Manchester City could be without Kyle Walker for the upcoming Premier League title showdown with Arsenal after he limped out of England's friendly vs Brazil.
Vinicius Jr emphasised how big a blow Kyle Walker's injury could be for Manchester City by calling him the best defender he has faced in his career.
Walker himself says he hopes his 'frustrating' injury is not too bad, and City will hope he will not be missing for the Premier League showdown with Arsenal in six days. If he doesn't recover however, as much a blow it will be, Guardiola already has a ready-made plan to replace Walker.
He started both legs of the semi-final against Real Madrid, successfully nullifying Vinicius as City produced a second-leg masterclass, but the situation in the other knockout games was enough to see him consider a permanent exit in the summer - before u-turning and signing a new contract. With Stones capable of inverting into midfield, Akanji can seamlessly switch into a back three as well as hold his own as a full-back. He has also shown his qualities doing the Stones-role pushing into midfield. In the Champions League final, it was Akanji pushing into space, freeing Bernardo with Rodri scoring from the deflected cutback.
