City confirmed the news on their social media, saying that Walker suffered the injury during last week’s 6-3 thrashing of cross-town rivals Manchester United. However, the club did not offer a recovery timeframe for the 32-year-old.

The club’s manager Pep Guardiola also wasn’t able to give more details when asked about Walker’s status for the World Cup.

“I know how important the World Cup is for the players, but honestly I don’t know right now,” Guardiola responded.

Walker shared an update on his operation on Thursday, saying that the procedure “was a success” and that he will now “concentrate on my rehab and getting back to full fitness.”

Kyle Walker made his senior debut with England in 2011 and has since made 70 appearances for the national team. If he cannot recover on time for World Cup, which starts in less than six weeks, England’s head coach Gareth Southgate will likely turn to Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.

With two staff members also having tested positive for coronavirus, City is expected to order two more sets of tests ahead of Sunday’s game. In an interview, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola explained that the Premier League will not allow the club to disclose the names of all the players who tested positive. He did, however, state that spectators will realize who these players are when they see the final team sheets for the game.

In addition, Guardiola remarked that the canceled game against Everton on Monday was due to a virus outbreak. “We had enough players to play Everton, we wanted to play, but for the day of the game there were more cases and the virus was inside our center and we informed the Premier League”, he claimed.

Guardiola further explained that he called Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti, explaining that the team could play but that it would be a risk to travel on the bus. Eventually, the decision was made to call it off.
