Kyle Walker and John Stones, according to Pep Guardiola, will miss Tuesday’s Champions League match at Sevilla.
Walker left City’s 1-1 draw with Aston Villa last Saturday with a muscular injury.

Stones played the whole 90 minutes at Villa Park after Walker was replaced.

Walker wasn’t in first-team training on Monday, but Stones was sighted with his colleagues. Neither player was named to Guardiola’s 21-man Seville squad.

Guardiola disclosed that both defenders are suffering from muscular ailments, with Stones sustaining his in training. The Spaniard claimed that the duo might be ruled out for the next couple of games, although new signing Manuel Akanji is available for selection after missing the draw at Villa.

The 27-year-old Swiss defender joined City on deadline day from Borussia Dortmund. His wife gave birth to their second baby over the weekend.

Guardiola stated, “[Walker and Stones] are both injured. We’d be in trouble without Manuel Akanji. The club quickly signed a replacement.

“John and Nathan [Ake] aren’t consistent players. Whatever. The players can’t keep up this fantastic schedule for many years.

“John is not much, Kyle not much either, but I don’t know if he’s ready for Saturday, Dortmund, Wolves, or after the international break,” said the Spaniard.

Joao Cancelo will likely start at right back with Sergio Gomez or Nathan Ake at left.

If Ake starts as left-back, Akanji might start alongside Ruben Dias.

Kalvin Phillips has returned from a shoulder injury to train with the first team and is in the travelling squad.

Man City is unbeaten after six Premier League matches, winning four and drawing two. They trail Arsenal by one point.

Last season’s Champions League semi-finalists will now focus on their first Group G game. They travel to Spain having won only three of their last 13 away matches against Spanish opposition.

City won both previous Champions League group stage matches against Sevilla, 2-1 at home and 3-1 away.
