Why Kyle Walker and Kevin De Bruyne not included in the Manchester City roster for the match against the Wolves.

The reason for the absence of Kyle Walker and Kevin De Bruyne from the Manchester City squad for the match against the Wolves is as follows: Kyle Walker’s absence from the Premier League match against Wolves has exacerbated Manchester City’s injury concerns. Rico Lewis maintained his position at right-back to maintain his impressive start to the season, as Walker, who participated in one of England’s two fixtures during the international break, did not accompany the City squad to Molineux on Sunday. Walker’s absence is concurrent with Kevin De Bruyne’s ongoing injury difficulties, as Pep Guardiola indicated that the Belgian was not yet prepared to return from injury. De Bruyne was absent from the Wolves squad, as anticipated, despite his return to training. Nathan Ake was reinstated on the bench after accelerating his own recovery. Manu Akanji, who was a doubt due to his absence from training this week, was named to the substitutes at Wolves, with John Stones taking his place.

City is optimistic that Walker’s absence will not be a long-term concern, as they prepare for matches against Sparta Prague and Southampton this week. Walker’s absence was attributed to poor fitness.

Rodri and Oscar Bobb remain City’s long-term absentees, and it is anticipated that De Bruyne will return in the upcoming weeks. On Friday, Guardiola stated, “I do not believe that [De Bruyne and Ake] will be prepared to face Wolves.” They are not prepared. They are currently in the final phase of their instruction. Nathan [Ake] participated in his initial training session with the team yesterday. He may be capable of traveling; however, he is not yet prepared to embark on this endeavor. Today was a day of rest, so we will observe their emotions.
