Pep facing some injury headaches

London – Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola’s delight with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Wednesday was tempered by injuries to playmaker Kevin De Bruyne and defender Kyle Walker.

De Bruyne looked to have sustained a leg muscle injury and was replaced on the hour mark at the Etihad Stadium, while full back Walker went off in the first half after a collision with Villa’s Jack Grealish.

“It is normal, these things happen with this amount of games, Kevin’s hand was on his leg, it looked muscular,” said Guardiola. –
