Walker set to miss the Iran clash with injury
Despite being fit to be included in Gareth Southgate’s squad, it seems that Kyle Walker won’t be fit in time to face Iran in their World Cup opener
Kyle Walker admits that he won’t be able to face Iran on Monday but he’ll be “ready to go” after that. The
Man Cityright-back has been out of actions for the past 6 weeks after undergoing a surgery on his groin.
"To represent your country at a tournament is a great achievement due to the circumstances leading up to it,"
Walker told ITV Football.
"Just because of the injury, it was an operation I had and it was touch a go.
"But it's full credit to the physios, getting me back fit and healthy. I was never worried, I have to believe in myself. I was confident, just about, making sure I prepared right on and off the field.
"If selected, then that's down to the manager, the first game is a bit too short, but from then onwards I'll be good and ready to go."
Despite training with the squad, Walker seems not to be fit to play against Iran. However, James Maddison who limped off in
Leicester’s last game seems to be fit enough to play on Monday.
