Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed that both Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker remain injury doubts heading into Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool.
Both De Bruyne and Walker were forced off with injuries in the second half of their goalless draw with Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday.
Speaking to the press ahead of this weekend's clash at Wembley Stadium, Guardiola has revealed that De Bruyne required stitches after sustaining a gash to his calf against Atletico, and both the Belgian and Walker have since missed training.
"They (De Bruyne and Walker) didn't train today. We will see tomorrow. Apparently it will be so close after what happened on Wednesday but we will see," Guardiola told reporters at a press conference on Friday.
"It is stitches in [De Bruyne's] calf. It is not a muscular injury. [With Walker] he wouldn't have remained on the pitch. He had a big twist [on his ankle] but it is getting better. In football these kind of things happen but we will adapt and adjust."
The Spanish boss has also confirmed that Ruben Dias has trained again with the first-team squad, and the centre-back – who has missed the last six weeks with a hamstring injury – will also be assessed to see if he can feature on Saturday.
After being eliminated from the FA Cup semi-finals in each of the previous two seasons, Man City will be looking to go one better and reach the final with victory over Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.
